Saudi refusal to extradite Khashoggi’s killers vexes Turkey

Turkey was disappointed by Saudi Arabia’s rejection of its request for the extradition of the killers of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Monday, the state-run Anadolu news agency quoted Fahrettin Altun, communication director of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as saying it’s in the international community’s interest to seek justice for Khashoggi in international courts. Last week, Turkey issued arrest warrants for two former aides to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who are suspected of overseeing the team that killed and dismembered Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.
