Turks Tell U.S. Officials They Have Audio and Video that Support Conclusion Khashoggi was Killed

Both the government's involved disappear people they don't like and are generally reprehensible. The US/UK and the west doesn't care particularly as money and strategic interests rule. This is becoming a story as they are currently not getting on with each other and the Saudis have been inept in thier latest atrocity.

Nobody actually cares about the dead guy. Watch how fast this falls down the memory hole once turkey has embarrassed Saudi and extracted something from them.

Why such a big deal over a non-American journalist being murdered?

Is that all that matters in the US now ?

Yes. It should be.

Let's be honest. It's the Saudi consulate in Turkey. It's definitely bugged. It would have be surprising if the Turks admitted that though.

You don't think the Saudis would regularly sweep all of their embassies for bugs ?

Bugs and listening devices not planted by themselves to listen in. Of coarse they would, leave their own devices and if they find someone else's remove it.


The apple watch sounds very likely but it could also have come from another source inside of the embassy.

That would be $110 Billion fewer dollars coming to American families who work in, and support those industries. Over...1...murder.

This right here is why the world is doomed.


Money has so much more value than life

Those families can find other work and support other things.

With #deepfakes out there nobody knows what to believe anymore.

Would US Intel have the ability to detect if these type of spoofing sofware programs were applied to a piece of footage?

Right but it just shows that, since there is so much at stake, there is definitely a motive to hoax such an incident.

Not that I put it past the Saudis, mind you. Its just difficult to know what to trust and I dont put it past the Turks to fabricate a lie with fabricated evidence...

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has added his name to a growing list of finance ministers and business leaders choosing not to attend next weeks investment conference in Saudi Arabia.

Following Mike Pompeo's visit to Saudi Arabia and Turkey the move seems to suggest the Administration believe Saudi committed the murder.

Actually if it happened in an embassy it was legally the the owner of the embassy's country. Technical difference, but still it's different.

No, it isn't. The land still belongs to the country that the embassy is built upon, so it did in fact take place in Turkey. This is a popular misonception.

You wonder how these people thought they could get away with this

This will have an effect on Saudi dissidents more than anything.

If you run your mouth in Saudi and go get a license or permit you might get beheaded

These guys are political gangsters

Meanwhile, according to Yeni Safak, Mashal Saad al Bostani, 31, a lieutenant in the Saudi Air Force and one of the 15 Saudis in the “hit squad,” as the Turks put it, died in a “suspicious car accident” in Riyadh. Al Bostani had been recorded flying into Turkey Oct. 2, arriving at 1:45 a.m. He checked into a hotel close to the Saudi mission in the Levent business district of Istanbul, and was inside the consulate when Khashoggi arrived. He then flew off at 9:46 p.m. that night. The newspaper gave no further details. Hurriyet columnist Abdulkader Selvi predicted that Consul al-Otaibi would be the “next execution.” He charged that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman “would do anything to get rid of the evidence.” In recordings reportedly obtained by Turkish police from inside the consulate on Oct. 2, al Otaibi is heard saying: “Do it somewhere else outside, or I will be in trouble.” Another voice is then heard telling him: “Shut up if you want to live when you’re back in Saudi Arabia.”

Sky news are reporting two sources claiming Turkish authorities have found body parts belonging to Jamal Khashoggi , the body parts were discovered in the garden of the Saudi consul general's Istanbul home.
