Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Monday called on Riyadh to prove its claim that Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who has been missing since last week, left the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Khashoggi left Saudi Arabia last year, saying he feared retribution for his criticism of Saudi policy in the Yemen war and its crackdown on dissent.

WNU Editor: I am sure there are cameras at this Saudi consulate that record and monitor everything. It is very simple for the Saudis to release the video of Jamal Khashoggi coming in, and Jamal Khashoggi going out. But I am willing to bet that they are not going to take up Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan to prove that they are innocent.
