Turkish court halts Khashoggi trial, transfers it to Saudi Arabia

WORLD
ALI KUCUKGOCMEN A Turkish court halted the trial of Saudi suspects over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and transferred it to Saudi Arabia, a ruling that drew condemnation from rights groups and comes as Ankara mends ties with Riyadh.

U.S. seeks to put Saudi crown prince in his place – for now

WORLD
AZIZ El YAAKOUBI and MARW RASHAD SAUDI Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman may have been spared direct punishment after a U.S. intelligence report implicated him in the killing of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, but he has not emerged unscathed. The declassified report, based on CIA intelligence, concludes that the prince approved an operation to "capture or kill" Khashoggi, who was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
