Turkey 'has recording proving Saudi murder'

Turkish officials have audio and video evidence that shows missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was tortured and killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the BBC has learned.

Mr Khashoggi, a critic of the Saudi government, has not been seen since he entered the building on 2 October.

Turkish intelligence had "documented evidence" of the murder, a source close to the investigation said.

Saudi Arabia denies the allegations. It says the journalist left the building.

Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance and reported death have prompted international outrage and dented business confidence in Saudi Arabia. Tycoon Sir Richard Branson has halted talks over $1bn Saudi investment in Virgin space firms and several top business leaders have pulled out of a Saudi investment conference later this month.

    "If YOUR X causes you to sin"

    Funny how words work, you need just one to change the scope of an entire phrase. Congrats, you just lost an argument to a moron.

      It's well documented how that passage was used in the middle ages right up to the early modern period.

      Also it was in greek, so if you want to split hairs don't argue the english translation.
      Actually argue the latin vulgate as that would be what was being used by the priests at the time in the west.

      Fucking moron.
