Saudi Arabia must hold Khashoggi killers ‘accountable’: Pompeo

DOHA, Jan 13, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said
Sunday that he would ask Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to ensure the
murderers of journalist Jamal Khashoggi are held “accountable”.

“We will continue to have a conversation with the crown prince and the
Saudis about ensuring accountability,” Pompeo said in Doha after talks with
Qatari government officials.

His comments come ahead of a planned visit to the kingdom later on Sunday
as part of a Middle East tour.
