By Baris Gundogan

ANKARA (AA) – Anadolu Agency has published a book on a Saudi journalist who was killed in Istanbul last fall.

The book has complete details of the murder of Jamal Khasoggi, a contributor to Washington Post, who went missing after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

The book published in English, Turkish and Arabic includes developments related to the murder in the shape of news stories, photographs, infographics and analysis.

It opens with his biography and contributions as journalist.

It also includes Khashoggi's views on the civil war in Yemen and the Saudi government.

The book briefs about teams from Saudi Arabia which came to the consulate before and after the murder.

The family tree of Saudi royals is also part of the book.

Senol Kazanci, director general of Anadolu Agency, wrote the foreword of the book and said Turkey has a special responsibility as the murder occurred on its territory.

“We are indebted to Khashoggi's works. We published this book as professional loyalty to him. We underline that we will neither forget this murder nor let it be forgotten, ” he said.

Khashoggi went missing after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, 2018.

After producing various contradictory explanations, Riyadh acknowledged that he was killed inside the consulate building, blaming the act on a botched rendition operation.

Turkey has sought the extradition of the Saudi citizens involved in the killing as well as a fuller accounting of the killing from Riyadh.
