He says Saudi Arabia has 3 million government employees, including ministers with the authority to coordinate a wide range of international activities.Mohammed bin Salman made the comments in an interview with US broadcaster PBS, for a documentary to be aired on Oct 1 -- just before the one-year anniversary of Khashoggi's assassination.Hatice Cengiz, the fiancee of the late journalist, wants more answers. SOT (Turkish) Hatice Cengiz, fiancee of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi -- 20s"....What I'm expecting the crown prince to tell me is: why was Jamal killed and where is his body? What was the motive for this murder? Because what we have witnessed was a horrible murder, actually."Khashoggi, a former Saudi insider turned regime critic in exile, was last seen at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
