Bahrain in an apparent reference to Khashoggi praises Saudi's

"Saudi Arabia will remain a state of justice, values and principles," an official statement quoted by the channel said.

Bahrain, in an apparent reference to the case of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, on Saturday praised decisions made by the Saudi king to establish justice, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV reported.

"Saudi Arabia will remain a state of justice, values and principles," an official statement quoted by the channel said.

Saudi Arabia said on Saturday that Khashoggi, a prominent journalist and critic of Saudi rulers, died in a fight inside its Istanbul consulate - after two weeks of denials that it had anything to do with his disappearance.
