Top Armed Services Dem calls for international probe into missing Saudi journalist
The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday called for an “international investigation” into the disappearance of missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“It appears that this was a grotesque and obscene act by the elements within Saudi Arabia,” Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) told journalists about the missing Washington Post columnist.
“So the first step, I think, is to determine exactly what happened. That, I believe, requires a thorough international investigation, not something that the Saudis will do.”
Speaking during a media breakfast in Washington, Reed disparaged the Trump administration for not leveraging U.S. arms sales to press the Saudis on Khashoggi, who is suspected to have been killed on Oct. 2 after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
