Istanbul police to search Saudi consul’s residence in Khashoggi case

ISTANBUL, Oct 16, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Turkish police will search the residence
of the Saudi consul in Istanbul as part of their investigation into the
disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashogghi at the kingdom’s consulate in
the city, a diplomatic source said Tuesday.

The timing of the search was not immediately made clear. It comes after
Turkish police and prosecutors on Monday searched the consulate building for
over eight hours, two weeks after the journalist went missing there.
