Riyadh claims Khashoggi killing was 'a rogue operation'
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called the son of Jamal Khashoggi, the kingdom announced on Monday, to express condolences over the death of the journalist killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by officials that allegedly included a member of the royal entourage.
King Salman similarly made a condolence call as international pressure on the kingdom continues to rise, even after it acknowledged on Saturday that journalist was killed on Oct 2 at the consulate under still-disputed circumstances.
