This is very intriguing.
As of Dec 2017, there were 326 currently detained “professional” journalists.
Over 14 years, 1035 “professional” journalists have been killed.
There hasn’t been this kind of brouhaha over them (albeit there should have been)
What’s the real agenda here?

Khasoggi left Saudi Arabia in September 2017, and has since written articles critical of his home country, the Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and nation's de facto ruler Mohammad bin Salman.
It is claimed he served w both Saudi Intelligence Agency & possibly the US in Afghanistan😏

Given virtual complete lack of political interest in the hundreds of professional journalists, who have been detained or killed - it is obvious that Khashoggi is deemed politically important.
What would a journalist be doing working with Saudi and US Intelligence in Afghanistan?

Khashoggi was partly educated in the US, he “fled” to the US in Sept 2017. There are reports he has been writing for the Washington Post.
He is reported to have worked with Saudi and US Intelligence in Afghanistan, and to have met with Osama bin Laden multiple times.

After his second resignation from Al Watan in 2010, Khashoggi was appointed by 👉🏼Al-Waleed bin Talal👈🏼 as director of the Al Arab News Channel in Bahrain.
He is also a political commentator for Saudi and international channels, including MBC, BBC, Al Jazeera and Dubai TV.

Khashoggi is linked to billionaire Al-Waleed bin Talal
Nov 2017 bin Talal & other prominent Saudis (incl fellow billionaires Waleed bin Ibrahim Al Ibrahim & Saleh Abdullah Kamel) were arrested in Saudi Arabia, in a purge that the Saudi govt characterized as anti-corruption drive

It is interesting (and possibly, or possibly not, coincidental) that Khashoggi fled Saudi Arabia (and went to the US) two months before Al-Waleed bin Talal was arrested
Also of note, bin Talal had invited Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia a few days before he was arrested.
