Saudi FM refuses international inquiry into Khashoggi murder

Riyadh (AFP) – Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister on Thursday rejected Turkey’s demand for an international inquiry into the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in his country’s consulate in Istanbul. 

Adel al-Jubeir said Riyadh had its own “investigative body” and would “reject” an independent investigation into the killing of Khashoggi who had been “heavily drugged” before being dismembered.
