Saudi Foreign Minister Rejects Call for International Probe Into Khashoggi Murder

Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir on Thursday rejected Turkey's call for an international probe into the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th November, 2018) Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir on Thursday rejected Turkey's call for an international probe into the murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"We are against an international investigation into this case.

Saudi Arabia has its own investigative bodies that are both professional and independent," Jubeir said at a press conference.

The kingdom now has 21 suspects in custody and wants to execute five of them for allegedly ordering and killing the journalist, who vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
