Jubeil made the announcement at a regional security summit in Bahrain, a day after Turkish prosecutors
demanded the extradition of the 18 suspects to Turkey for trial.
"On the issue of extradition, 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,"
he said.
The Saudi minister vowed that the
government will bring those responsible for the murder to justice.
"We will hold people to account and
those responsible will be punished, and we will put in place mechanism to make
sure that it won't happen again," Jubeil noted.
Khashoggi, a columnist for US newspaper the Washington Post and a critic of
the Saudi government, has been missing since his entry into the Saudi consulate
in Turkey's Istanbul on October 2.
On October 20, Saudi Arabia
said Khashoggi died in a "brawl" in the consulate, without explaining
the cause of his death.
Saudi King Salman later ordered the
re-organization of the intelligence authorities and sacked senior intelligence officials.
