OTTAWA (Reuters) - Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations on Tuesday condemned the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi "in the strongest possible terms" and said Riyahd must make sure such an incident never happens again.

In a statement, the G7 ministers said Saudi explanations for Khashoggi's death "leave many questions unanswered." The ministers also repeated their call for a thorough, credible, transparent and prompt investigation.
