Turkey seeks arrest of two Saudi crown prince allies over Khashoggi murder:
prosecutor
ISTANBUL, Dec 5, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – A Turkish prosecutor has demanded that
arrest warrants be issued against two Saudi nationals close to Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman over the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a Turkish
source close to the investigation said Wednesday.
The chief prosecutor’s office in Istanbul filed an application Tuesday to
obtain the warrants for Ahmad al-Assiri and Saud al-Qahtani, described in
court documents as being “among the planners” of the murder of the Washington
Post contributor Khashoggi.
