Merkel: no weapons to Saudi Arabia

berlin - Germany will not supply weapons to Saudi Arabia until it has been clarified what happened to the missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This is what Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday at a campaign meeting of her party.

Merkel repeated her condemnation of the murder of the journalist, who has not been seen since he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October. 'We are far from having clarified this and that those responsible have been made responsible,' Merkel said to journalists. 'As far as arms exports are concerned, they can not take place under the current circumstances. '
