Journo’s killers ‘must be punished’

Doha, Qatar – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said yesterday 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 came ahead of a planned visit to the kingdom yesterday as part of a Middle East tour.
