Saudi consulate to be searched for missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi | ITV News

Turkish authorities are to search the Saudi consulate in Istanbul as part of an investigation into the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The announcement came as the Washington Post published a surveillance image of Mr Khashoggi walking into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. He has not been seen since entering the building on 2 October.

The image shows the date and time (13:14) and bears a caption in Turkish with the journalist's name and that he was arriving at the consulate.

Mr Khashoggi was a regular contributor to The Post, and colleagues there have said he often expressed concern for his safety because of his writing.
