Saudi Arabia Saudi agents murder journalist Jamal Khashoggi
On 2 October 2018 the dissident Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed and dismembered by a team of Saudi agents inside the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul. US intelligence concluded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the operation. The extraterritorial murder of a critic became the defining case of Saudi repression of dissent and a global press-freedom scandal.
