ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) The Washington Post's Global Opinions Editor Karen Attiah gave a tearful interview on Wednesday over her colleague, Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who went missing on October 2nd at the Saudi consulate in Instanbul.

"I hope you come back," Attiah said, adding that Khashoggi had told her that Saudi authorities had criticized him for writing for the Post.

U.S. President Donald Trump increased pressure on Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to provide information on what happened to missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and said he wanted to get the bottom of what he called "a very serious situation." In a fresh clue, a pro-government Turkish daily on Wednesday published preliminary evidence from investigators it said identified a 15-member Saudi intelligence team involved in Khashoggi's unexplained disappearance on Oct.

Pressure appeared to be building worldwide on close U.S. ally Saudi Arabia on the whereabouts of Khashoggi, a prominent critic of Saudi policies, who was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to get documents for his planned marriage.

His Turkish fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, who was waiting outside, said he never re-appeared.

Turkish sources said they believe Khashoggi was killed inside the building and removed, allegations that Riyadh dismisses as baseless.
