Saudi crown prince to head to Algeria amid outcry

Saudi crown prince to head to Algeria amid outcrySaudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will arrive in Algiers on Sunday, Algerian state media said, for a visit that has been roundly criticised due to the killing of a dissident journalist. The trip is meant to give "new impetus to biliteral cooperation (and) the realisation of partnerships and investment projects", the statement said. Khashoggi's killing has put mounting pressure on Riyadh and Prince Mohammed, who Turkish officials -- and reportedly the CIA -- have concluded was behind the critic's death.
