Canada slams Saudi Arabia

Ottawa – Canada condemned Saudi Arabia’s account of the death of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi as inconsistent and not credible on Saturday, calling for a “thorough” investigation.

After two weeks of denials, Riyadh admitted Khashoggi, a critic of powerful Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed inside its Istanbul consulate, but has remained mute on the whereabouts of his body. – AFP
