Saudi Arabia will not extradite suspects in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul, its foreign minister said, dismissing a demand by Turkey that 18 people be handed over.
“The individuals are Saudi nationals, they are detained in Saudi Arabia, the investigation is in Saudi Arabia,” Adel Al-Jubeir said Saturday at the Manama Dialogue conference in Bahrain. “They will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia.”
