He has not been seen since. This news comes amid mounting international outcry that Saudi Arabia explain Khashoggi\u2019s shocking disappearance, after Turkish officials accused the Saudis of assassinating Khashoggi, dismembering him and smuggling body parts out of the consulate. In an interview with CBS\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d Trump said Saudi Arabia would suffer \u201csevere consequences\u201d if it was found responsible. But Trump has repeatedly said he opposes ending US weapons sales to the kingdom, which he claims are worth $110 billion to US companies. The Saudi Foreign Ministry has responded to Trump\u2019s threats saying if it \u201creceives any action, it will respond with greater action.\u201d The Saudis deny Khashoggi was killed in their consulate. We speak with Ali Al-Ahmed, a Saudi dissident and founder and director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs. He was a political prisoner in Saudi Arabia when he was 14 years old \u2014 the youngest political prisoner at that time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong><span class=\"caps\">AMY<\/span><span> <\/span><span class=\"caps\">GOODMAN<\/span>:<\/strong><span> <\/span>This is<span> <\/span>Democracy Now!,<span> <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/\">Democracynow.org<\/a>, The War and Peace Report.
