Mainecat Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi's assassination Source: Washington Post Breaking News CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination The CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul last month, contradicting the Saudi government’s claims that he was not involved in the killing, according to people familiar with the matter. The CIA’s assessment, in which officials have said they have high confidence, is the most definitive to date linking Mohammed to the operation and complicates the Trump administration’s efforts to preserve its relationship with a close ally. A team of 15 Saudi agents flew to Istanbul on government aircraft in October and killed Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate, where he had come to pick up documents that he needed for his planned marriage to a Turkish woman. In reaching its conclusions, the CIA examined multiple sources of intelligence, including a phone call that the prince’s brother Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, had with Khashoggi, according to the people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the intelligence. Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so.

How ugly this has been for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revkevsdi Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 But, but, but, they're your friends. Seems like such a short time ago the USA was ignoring the violent actions of this psycho Kingdom. Many had an issue with Canada asking questions. What do they have to do to make you realize it, blow up buildings in New York? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strategic allies whose relationship with us needs a serious review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 This does complicate donny’s Son in law’s relationship with the prince. Good friends with a murderer, hmmm. Given the ethics of this administration, probably not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
