It follows concerns about Saudi Arabia's role in the disappearance of the missing journalist.

Britain's International Trade Secretary Liam Fox has pulled out of attending an investment conference in Saudi Arabia next week amid allegations that the country was responsible for the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khahoggi. The Dutch and French finance ministers, as well as several other politicians and business leaders, have also said they will no longer attend the event.
