German Chancellor Angela Merkel is demanding further clarity over the death of writer Jamal Khashoggi, after Saudi officials acknowledged Saturday that the Washington Post columnist was killed in a “fistfight” in its Istanbul consulate, The Washington Post reports.
During a party conference in the eastern state of Thuringia on Saturday, Merkel referred briefly to Saudi Arabia and “the terrible events” surrounding Khashoggi’s slaying on Oct. 2 saying “still nothing has been cleared up.”
She added that “of course we are demanding that they be cleared up.”
