What happened to Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi?

Judging from Saudi's reactions he was killed in Saudi consulate in Istanbul and his body was chopped in peaces.



This seems to be part of Saudi power struggles that are happening since last year. But the level of atrocities done can be only compared to those from ISIS. Americans are demanding for answers, same as Europeans but a lot of nonSaudis will find them selves in very complicated situation. "Will you work for a murderer? That’s the question a host of ex-generals, diplomats and spies may soon face."



Probably the time has come to clean out Saudi Arabia from the same scum as ISIS or Al Qaeda before they finance another terrorist organization.

yeah, but the oil...

Khashoggi went to pieces under the pressure of the interview and all the King's men couldn't put him together again.

an american journalist gets killed and because turkey makes a big deal of it people notice.

Obligatory outrage required.

40 children on a yemini school bus killed by the same saudi group and nobody gives a poop, actually these saudis kill children on school buses and in hospitals on a regular basis....and nobody gives a poop. wedding funerals etc etc

Lots of journalists get killed and nobody cares, maybe we should be thanking turkey.

Ya gotta wonder why the media decided to make a big deal outta this guy...whatupwitdat?

weapons of choice for killing children by the saudis are american made.

Trump says its really bad...really bad...but we cant stop the arms deals.

Yeah, the only problem, but Saudi Arabia has oil in the shores of Persian gulf. Other parts dont have any oil, its all sand there

I doubt that 18-men squad tried to merge the remains. Unless it was the special request by the King him self

The brazenness of killing a journalist for an American paper in a goddam consulate healing. When a Russian or Cypriot is poisoned or dies in a car bombing, it's terrible but at least the killers care about a modicum of deniability. The Saudis clearly didn't in this case. Not even the hint of pretending this was outside forces or constructing a mildly coherent cover story.

They have their man in the White House.

It's funny how he'll bend over backwards to be nice to dictators, but he's a real hardass dealing with democratic leaders.

Jamal Khashoggi was an editorialist, not a journalist. If he was a journalist he wouldn't have penned itinerant anti-Trump newspaper columns because journalists are, ostensibly, impartial and apolitical.

In any case, it's funny how the Amazon Washington Post lambasts Trump relentlessly with conspiracy theories and nutty predictions about him undermining press freedom but then - when something actually serious happens by an actual enemy of press freedom; something other than conspiracy theories and nutty predictions - demands he stand-up for press freedom. If I were Trump I'd tell them GFY, protect your own editorial writers.

The Amazon Washington Post clearly has never read ...

I wonder what's worse, bending over backwards, or bending over forwards?

See even saxi doesn't buy this cover story. That's why you know this is a story.
