(16 Oct 2018) US Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday said it is important for the 'world to know the truth' when it comes to finding out what happened to Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. "We need to know who was responsible. We need to hold those responsible," said Pence while visiting Georgia to tour areas damaged by Hurricane Michael. "We're going to demand answers. The world deserves answers and the president and I and our administration are going to continue to call for answers to see that those responsible are held to account," said Pence. Turkish officials say they fear Khashoggi was killed and dismembered inside the Istanbul consulate. Saudi officials previously have called the allegations "baseless," but reports in US media on Tuesday suggested the kingdom may acknowledge the writer was killed there. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met on Tuesday with Saudi Arabia's King Salman in Riyadh over the disappearance and alleged slaying of Khashoggi.
