Saudi FM says a global protest about Khashoggi & # 039; hysterical & # 039;
Saudi Arabia's top diplomat said on Saturday that the global protest and the media over the assassination of a Saudi journalist earlier this month have become "hysterical" by urging the public to await the results of an investigation before attributing blame the main leaders of the kingdom.
Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist critical of Saudi ArabiaCrown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was killed by Saudi agents at the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
"This problem has become quite hysterical," said Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir. "I think people have blamed Saudi Arabia with such certainty before the investigation is completed."
Some of those involved in Khashoggi's murder are close to Prince Mohammed, who is the heir of the apparent kingdom. His condemnation of the killing as "atrocious" and "painful" has so far failed to alleviate suspicions that such a high-level operation could have taken place without his knowledge.
Al-Jubeir addressed the growing skepticism about the supposed participation of the crown prince. He spoke in response to questions from Western journalists at an annual conference of international officials, including the Secretary of Defense of the United States, James Mattis, in Bahrain.
"We have made it clear that we are going to have a complete and transparent investigation, the results of which will be published, and we have made it very clear that those responsible will be responsible," he said, adding that the kingdom has also put in place of mechanisms to ensure that this does not happen. happen
"We are trying to find out what happened, we know that we made a mistake, we know that people have exceeded their authority and we know we are investigating them," he said.
But he warned that "investigations take time".
"Unfortunately, there has been this hype in the media about the guilt of Saudi Arabia before the investigation is completed," he said.
Turkey alleges that a 15-member squad was sent to Istanbul to kill the journalist, a former Saudi who became an open critic of Prince Mohammed in the columns of The Washington Post. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the other three members of the group of 18 who were arrested in Saudi Arabia were consulate employees.
Saudi Arabia said that five officials, including two who worked directly under the Crown Prince, were relieved of their duties. Al-Jubeir said on Saturday that six in all were fired. King Salman has assigned his son, the crown prince, to oversee the restructuring of the kingdom's intelligence corps after the assassination.
Erdogan said on Friday that Turkey would reveal more evidence about the killing, but was in no hurry to do so, indicating that the Turkish authorities will methodically increase pressure on Saudi Arabia, even as the kingdom floats contradictory statements in a vain and often clumsy attempt to end the crisis .
After three weeks of changing Saudi accounts of the incident, the kingdom this week acknowledged that the killing was "premeditated," citing evidence from Turkish officials investigating what happened. Saudi Arabia originally said that Khashoggi had left the consulate on October 2, before offering other narratives that the president Donald Trump Called "one of the worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups".
Turkey requests that Saudi Arabia hand over the suspects in the murder, which the kingdom has described as a dishonest operation by officials who may have exceeded their orders or authority.
Director of the CIA Gina haspel, who was in Turkey earlier this week to review the evidence, reported to Trump in Washington on Thursday.
The chief prosecutor of Saudi Arabia will arrive in Turkey on Sunday as part of the investigation and will meet with his Turkish counterparts, according to Erdogan.
