Dubai (CNN Business)Saudis unhappy with the Washington Post’s coverage of the killing of its journalist Jamal Khashoggi are taking aim at Jeff Bezos’ business interests in the Middle East.
Thousands of social media users in Saudi Arabia backed calls for a boycott of Amazon (AMZN) and its regional subsidiary on Monday. Bezos owns the Washington Post and is still by far the biggest shareholder in Amazon.
Khashoggi, a columnist for the Washington Post, was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month. Saudi officials first denied all knowledge of his fate before admitting later that his killing was premeditated murder.
