Pompeo arrives for meeting with Saudi crown prince
RIYADH, Oct 16, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US top diplomat Mike Pompeo arrived at
Riyadh’s royal palace Tuesday to talk about the disappearance of Saudi
journalist Jamal Khashoggi with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, an AFP
journalist saw.
Earlier in the day, he discussed the case of Khashoggi — who has not been
seen since he walked into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 —
with King Salman.
US President Donald Trump dispatched Pompeo to Riyadh for what the State
Department has described as “face to face meetings with the Saudi leadership”
about the incident which sparked international outrage.
