Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has claimed that the order to kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi's came from the highest levels of the Saudi government.
In an op-ed in The Washington Post on Friday, Mr Erdogan said: 'We must reveal the identities of the puppet masters behind Khashoggi's killing.'
However, the Turkish president said he did not believe that Saudi King Salman had ordered the killing.
Erdogan says does not believe 'for a second' that King Salman had ordered 'the hit' on Khashoggi and he also refrained from directly accusing the crown prince.
Kind of contradictory. MbS is the highest level in Saudi Arabia, since his father seems to have handed him control.
So Turkey is definitely playing games with this.
Posting this article partly because it's depressing how quickly it fell out of the news. Saudi Arabia will just go back to murder business as usual, without any real objection from the US.
