Pompeo: Saudi royals commit to 'accountability' for Jamal Khashoggi killing

Saudi Arabian officials “reiterated their commitment” to punishing the individuals responsible for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said while traveling in the Arab state.

“Our expectations have been clear from early on: Every single person who has responsibility for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi needs to be held accountable,” Pompeo said following discussions with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “They both acknowledged that that accountability needed to take place.”
