Defense Secretary James Mattis on Saturday condemned the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, warning that his slaying threatened to undermine stability in the Mideast.

Mattis renewed President Trump's vow to uncover the full details of the events that led to Khashoggi's killing, adding that the U.S. would take unspecified additional measures against those found to be responsible, Reuters reported.

“With our collective interests in peace and unwavering respect for human rights in mind, the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in a diplomatic facility must concern us all greatly,” Mattis said during a conference in Bahrain, according to the news outlet.

“Failure of any one nation to adhere to international norms and the rule of law undermines regional stability at a time when it is needed most,” he added.
