Saudi Arabia Admits Jamal Khashoggi Killed In Istanbul Consulate by mmb(m): 7:06am On Oct 20, 2018 |
Saudi Arabia admitted journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside its consulate in the Turkish city of Istanbul, saying he died in brawl but made no mention of where his body is. Preliminary results of investigations showed the dissident writer died after a fight broke out inside the building shortly after he entered, the official SPA press agency said on Saturday. Saudi Attorney-General Sheikh Saud al-Mojeb said Khashoggi died after "discussions" at the consulate devolved into an altercation. "Discussions that took place between him and the persons who met him … at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul led to a brawl and a fist fight with the citizen, Jamal Khashoggi, which led to his death, may his soul rest in peace," the attorney-general said in a statement. "The investigations are still under way and 18 Saudi nationals have been arrested." Royal court adviser Saud al-Qahtani and deputy intelligence chief Ahmed al-Asiri were fired from their positions, the statement said. It remains unclear where Khashoggi's body is following his killing. Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who wrote critically of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's (MBS) rise to power, went missing on October 2 after entering the consulate in Istanbul to obtain documents needed for his upcoming marriage. Will Jamal Khashoggi's disapperance impact US-Saudi relations? His whereabouts remained unknown since. US President Donald Trump said he found Saudi Arabia's explanation about Khashoggi's credible. "It's early, we haven't finished our review or investigation, but … I think it's a very important first step," he said. Trump said sanctions against Saudi Arabia "could be" something he would consider but "it's too early to say" how the US will respond for now. He said he doesn't want to cancel a multi-billion dollar arms deal with the Saudis in response to the admission of guilt. "I would prefer, if there is going to be some form of sanction or what we may determine to do, if anything... that we don't use as retribution canceling $110bn worth of work, which means 600,000 jobs," he said. Republican Senator Rand Paul tweeted: "We should also halt all military sales, aid and cooperation immediately. There must be a severe price for these actions by Saudi Arabia." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/10/saudi-arabia-confirms-khashoggi-killed-istanbul-consulate-181019221512552.html |

I have been following this scandal very closely and right from the beginning I knew Saudi Arabian had killed him. Some of Saudi's action always paint Islam in a bad light. Because how can you just kill someone just because he criticized some of your obnoxious policies. Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that use 16 century method of executions and other crude method of judgement. It's only in Saudi a condemned prisoner would be beheaded publicly. It's only in Saudi a thief would be amputated perhaps even for a lighter crime. It's only in Saudi that women are treated as objects without any regard. It's only in Saudi a woman can not walk freely on the streets without the company of her husband or close relative. And so many other relic laws. For instance, imagine the atrocities Saudi is committing in Yemen by killing innocent civilians especially women and children just because they belonged to different sect of Islam. It was just last month that Saudi boomed 30 innocent school children in their school bus. Imagine, innocent children between the ages of 2 to 10 years. And their only excuse was it was an accident and that was it. Saudi Arabia is doing all this evil acts because they knew United States and the rest of world can not sanctioned them due to their crude oil monopoly and their control of world oil supply and price. And also U.S hands are tied because of billions of dollars weapon deals they are transacting with Saudi at present. United Sates supplies weapons to Saudi to kill innocent civilians and later they'd start barking like toothless bulldog. Saudi being a holly place of Islam, have to be leading by example but reverse is the case. Very unfortunate. 129 Likes 8 Shares |

Where are all the bigots that said I was wrong? Did I not say Prince Salaman is a murderer? Only God knows what he would do when he becomes King. Some people cannot accept the truth even if it repeatedly slaps them in the face. Discussions that took place between him and the persons who met him … at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul led to a brawl and a fist fight with the citizen, Jamal Khashoggi, which led to his death, may his soul rest in peace," the attorney-general said in a statement. Mehn, this lie is strong. And to think Trump says he accepts the explanation is nauseating just because of a $110 billion arms deal. 16 Likes 1 Share |

Critically looking at the event unfold one could tell something like this happened because he was shown entering the consulate but didn't come out. Patiently waiting for more mystery to be unfolded |

After saying he left the consulate early, now they're claiming he got into a fight and was killed. How could a higly respected man like Khashoggi get into a fight with 15 men? Na die be that nah. 17 Likes 1 Share |

Saudi is having it rough diplomatic-wise at the moment but does the US have the nerve to sanction them? The current monarchy is really embarking on a lot of revolutionary reform but the recent killing of the journalist is a dent on their human right and freedom of speech record. 1 Like 1 Share |
