WASHINGTON: Uber chief Dara Khosrowshahi apologised yesterday after he called the assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, in which Riyadh admitted responsibility, a “mistake.”
Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, was strangled and dismembered at the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul on Oct 2, 2018, prompting harsh criticism of the country and de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “I think that people make mistakes and that doesn’t mean that they can never be forgiven,” Khosrowshahi said, after the Axios reporter pressed him on the comparison between an assassination and a traffic accident.
