On October 2nd, Jamal Khashoggi, a dissident Saudi journalist whose work was published in the Washington Post, entered a Saudi consulate in Turkey, and hasn't been seen since.

Turkish officials say Khashoggi was killed by a Saudi hit team, claiming to have audio and video recordings of the murder.

Saudi officials however are denying it.

Yesterday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS.

MBS says the kingdom will conduct a thorough investigation of Kashoggi's disappearance.

Ok, so that's a very short synopsis of what's going on.

You may be asking - why should I care?

For starters, Jamal Khashoggi was a United States resident and a journalist possibly killed for doing his job.

Doctor Steven Leibo, professor at the Sage Colleges, explains further.
