I have been following with interest, the news on the disappearance of the prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Jamal was a fierce critic of the Saudi royal family and fearing for his life he went into self-imposed exile in the United States. He wrote frequently for the Washington Post.
He entered the Saudi consulate in Turkey on 2nd October to prepare some paperwork for his marriage to a Turkish woman. Since then, he had not exit the consulate.
According to speculation, a hit squad of 15 men flew into Ankara from Riyadh and murdered Jamal Khashoggi. He was alleged to have his fingers chopped off before being killed.
The media is now speculating that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Bin Salman aka MBS as the man who ordered the killing.
Investigations are ongoing and if proven guilty of murder, it will have a huge impact on foreign investment and backlash from the free world on Saudi Arabia.
Senator Lindsey Graham says MBS has "got to go" if he is behind the gruesome murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
