Saudi Arabia charged 11 men Thursday in the killing of Saudi reporter Jamal Khashoggi at Saudi diplomatic offices in Istanbul, Turkey, last month. Saudi government lawyer Shalaan Bin Shalaan said officials will seek death sentences for five of the suspects charged with ordering and carrying out the crime. Shalaan told reporters in Riyadh that Khashoggi's presence abroad represented a threat to the Saudi kingdom. He said deputy intelligence chief Ahmed al Assiri formed a team to travel to Istanbul to try to persuade the reporter to return home. Shalaan said Assiri chose a 15-member team, made up of three groups: a negotiating team, an intelligence team and a planning team. He says the head of the negotiating team knew Khashoggi and ordered the reporter be taken to a secure place. But, Shalaan said, Khashoggi was killed in the process.
