Turkey to search Saudi Consulate for journalist who disappeared

Turkey said Tuesday it will search the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul as it investigates why journalist Jamal Khashoggi vanished a week ago.

That Saudi Arabia would allow foreigners to enter a consulate and search it shows the growing international pressure the kingdom faces over the disappearance of Khashoggi.

The Saudis deny involvement in his disappearance but had no comment on the announcement.

It wasn’t clear when the search would occur.
