Turkish Court Adds New Saudi Defendants in Khashoggi Trial

Reuters

   ISTANBUL - A Turkish court this weekadded new defendants to the case
   against Saudi officials charged in the killing of journalist Jamal
   Khashoggi, state media reported, in a trial that Ankara says is needed
   to reveal the full truth behind the killing.

   Khashoggi, a critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was last
   seen entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018.
   Turkish officials believe his body was dismembered and removed; his
   remains have not been found.

   In September a Saudi court jailed eight people for between seven and 20
   years over the killing, in a trial that critics said lacked
   transparency. None of the defendants was named.
