Saudi journalist may have recorded his own torture and death
Turkish security officials have reportedly obtained audio and video recordings proving missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered last week inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul — and the audio files may have been recorded by Khashoggi himself.
The journalist activated the recording function on his Apple watch before entering the consulate, a Turkish newspaper reported Saturday, citing "reliable sources in a special intelligence department." Khashoggi's "interrogation, torture, and killing were audio recorded and sent to both his phone and to iCloud," the report says. Some files were deleted from the watch, the paper noted, but only after the sync completed.
