CNN Pulls Out of Saudi Arabia Conference Amid Khashoggi Disappearance
  • 6 years ago
CNN became the latest big league sponsor to pull out of the Future Investment Initiative Conference in Saudi Arabia. The network pulled out amid growing concerns about the disappearance of Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi last week.

Saudi Arabia is now facing accusations from senior Turkish government officials that Khashoogi was murdered. The Washington Post contributor went missing last week after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

The kingdom has denied the allegation.
