Turkish President Urges Saudis to Reveal Who Ordered Khashoggi Murder

HeadlineOct 26, 2018

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is urging Saudi Arabia to disclose who ordered the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, as well as the identity of a “local cooperator” involved in the murder plot. Erdogan also said Turkey has more information about the case than it has shared so far, suggesting he could release more details if the Saudis refuse to reveal vital information. This comes as Saudi Arabia admitted that Khashoggi’s killing was in fact “premeditated,” contradicting the Saudis’ earlier claims he died as the result of a fistfight gone awry. Saudi Arabia’s chief prosecutor is set to meet with Turkish prosecutors Sunday as part of the ongoing investigation.
