The suspects in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi foreign minister said Saturday.

His comments come after Turkey said it wanted to extradite 18 Saudi nationals that authorities say were involved in the murder. However, according to the BBC, speaking at a security conference in Bahrain, Adel al-Jubeir said: “On the issue of extradition, the individuals are Saudi nationals. They’re detained in Saudi Arabia, and the investigation is in Saudi Arabia, and they will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia.”

Speaking at the same conference on a different panel, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said the killing of Khashoggi undermined Middle Eastern stability and that Washington would take additional measures against those responsible, Reuters reported.

Saudi Arabia initially denied all knowledge of the journalist’s fate, but the Saudi public prosecutor now describes it as a premeditated murder. However, Riyadh denies the ruling royal family was involved and blames “rogue agents.”

3. The Saudis don't want these 18 talking to anybody.

The Saudi attempt at gaslighting the world is not working, however.

5. Agreed and it's probably because they

are afraid that one of them might tell the truth.

4. There's a better chance that any Saudi involved with 9-11 will be extradited to the U.S.

than the 18 Saudis will be returned to Turkey.

6. Well, no.

At least not until they've worked through their list.

7. Heckuva thing to be executed for following murder orders like good little fascists.

Couldn't happen to nicer guys.
And they will kill them all just to keep them quiet.

8. They've already picked the people they're going to execute and call it done

They've picked a bunch of people regardless of guilt and now they'll execute them and call it justice and all done.

Donny and the right will praise them for the justice and move on.

10. Have Drumpf talk to them.

He was more than willing to turn over U.S. federal officers to Putin when Putin asked for them.

" (Putin) offered to have the (U.S.) people working on the (Russia election investigation) case come (to Russia) and work with their investigators with respect to the 12 (Russian) people. "

To which the orange traitor added: "I think that’s an incredible offer!"

Bigly incredible. No one has ever seen the likes of such an offer before...

11. That's typical

Like trump they simply ignore others claims or demands to get the truth, and the prince like trump , has to hide it or be exposed . Just like trump does here. This guy won't be in his position long doing this, just like what will happen to trump too.
