Turkey is getting closer to laying blame for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the brash young leader whose ambitions for a modernized Saudi Arabia have been undermined by his penchant for making enemies at home and abroad.

Erdogan -- who didn’t mention the prince at all -- then called on his father, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, to bring those responsible to account, no matter their position.
