Turkish President Urges Saudis to Reveal Who Ordered Khashoggi Murder
---------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
