COMMENT ON THE KHASHOGGI MURDER – FACTS REVEALED BY TURKISH SOURCES
Here is a summary of the known facts. They come from several major newspaper reports which I have consolidated.
The Turks have recordings – audio ones from inside the Saudi Consulate and video from security cameras outside - and they know exactly what happened, and they know the identities of the perpetrators.
A 15-man squad, all from the Crown Prince’s personal security detail, arrived to do the job.
Khashoggi was attacked almost immediately as he showed up for some documents he needed.
The Consul himself was in the room.
The body was dragged, not yet dead, from the Consul’s office to his study next door.
A Saudi military forensics expert, after putting on some headphones with music, began to cut the body up right on top of a table in the study. He advised others, including the Consul, to leave the room.
The man with headphones and the cutting tool holds a senior position in Saudi Interior Ministry.
Obviously, with that kind of person assigned in the first place and with him having brought the necessary tools to cut the body up, this was a meticulously planned murder, not an interrogation that somehow went wrong.
Is there anyone on the planet, outside of Trump’s office, who can believe that the order for this did not come from the top? I sincerely hope not.
Oh, Theresa May, where is your brave voice when it comes to an authentic, proven state murder?
I guess it makes a difference when the killer is someone who buys billions of pounds of armaments?
"Rogue elements," Trump? "Something went wrong in an interrogation"? Clearly lies.
