Saudi king to make week-long domestic tour amid Khashoggi crisis | Reuters:
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman will embark on a week-long domestic tour on Tuesday, a senior government official told Reuters, as the absolute monarchy faces its worst political crisis in a generation over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
It is the first such trip for the 82-year-old king since he acceded to the throne of the world’s top oil exporter in 2015, according to local media, which reported expected stops in the provinces of Qassim and Hail, both northwest of Riyadh.
Online news site Sabq said the king would launch health, education and infrastructure projects, but few other details were immediately available.
