Very good question. I heard that a Saudi consulate in DC asked him to go to Turkey. Khashoggi should not have gone to any Saudi consulate at all--of course, this is something one learns after the fact. But he should have known better that Saudi is not some random Western country.

Given that he was a journalist and had his Iwatch recording, maybe he underestimated the severity of the situation, and simply expected to get a story about unfairness he would survive to tell.

Thanks for answering my question. Seems like he fell into a trap.
