Turkey denies Trump claim US investigators working on missing Saudi case

ANKARA, Oct 11, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Turkey on Thursday denied a claim by US
President Donald Trump that American investigators were working with both
Ankara and Riyadh to probe the disappearance in Turkey of Saudi journalist
Jamal Khashoggi.

“The information that the United States has tasked investigators over the
Khashoggi case is not correct,” said a Turkish diplomatic source quoted by
the state-run Anadolu news agency.

Trump earlier said “we have investigators over there and we’re working
with Turkey and frankly we’re working with Saudi Arabia”.
