[PRESSTV] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

's calls on the kingdom to extradite 18 Saudis wanted for the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi as international outrage mounts over the killing.
The outright rebuff by Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir on Saturday came a day after President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

renewed his call for the 18 men to be extradited for trial in Turkey.
"The individuals are Saudi nationals. They're detained in Saudi Arabia, and the investigation is in Saudi Arabia, and they will be prosecuted in Saudi Arabia," Jubair told a regional security forum in Bahrain.

the men following the international furor over Khashoggi's murder, which was reportedly carried out in the consulate by a team which flew to Istanbul.
Ottoman Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul said on Friday that Istanbul's chief prosecutor had formally written the request for their extradition.
"The Ottoman Turkish authorities are determined and able to solve this case. We expect the extradition," he said in a statement, adding that the suspects would be tried on charges of premeditated murder and torture.
A senior Ottoman Turkish official said "the reasoning behind the extradition request is that Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in Turkey by Saudi nationals who traveled to Turkey for this specific purpose."
But the Saudi foreign minister said the kingdom would carry out any investigation on its own.
"The issue, as I said, is being investigated. We will know the truth. We will hold those responsible accountable. And we will put in place mechanisms to ensure it doesn't happen again," Jubeir said.
