Is Saudi Arabia Trying to Protect Whoever Ordered Khashoggi Murder? l Inside Story
Saudi Arabia's Chief prosecutor met his Turkish counterpart for a second time in Istanbul - after what the Turks call an unsatisfactory first meeting on Monday. Sources say the Saudis have finally handed over the testimonies of 18 suspects who are being held in the Kingdom. Where the suspects should be tried is being argued over. Turkey is calling for their extradition; the Saudis insist they'll be tried at home.
As the US considers its options, and the European Union faces further calls to ban arms sales - will the Saudis budge?

Can Saudi, Turkey Work Together to Shed Light on Khashoggi Murder? l Inside Story
Turkey wants Saudi Arabia to extradite the 18 men who've been suspected in his killing. But Saudi Arabia insists they will face justice in the Kingdom. This issue will likely top the agenda as Saudi Arabia's top prosecutor arrives in Turkey.
The Initial Turkish inquiry has concluded that the killing was premeditated, a fact, Saudi officials have taken some time to acknowledge. Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan is urging Saudi Arabia to disclose where Khashoggi's remains are and explain who gave the order to kill him. So, will the two countries co-operate?

What Impact Will Khashoggi's Murder Have on the Middle East? l Inside Story
It’s reported that evidence links the killing directly to the Crown Prince's office, a charge Riyadh denies.
US Secretary of Defense James Mattis says that the case threatens the stability of the entire Middle East, and that Washington is ready to take more action against those responsible.
Visa bans are already in place for 21 suspects. Turkey wants the suspects extradited from Saudi Arabia but the Kingdom's Foreign Minister says they will be investigated and prosecuted where they are.
