Saudi Arabia's King Salman reportedly dismissed a key royal adviser and a senior intelligence official the same day the country's state-run media admitted that journalist Jamal Khashoggi died in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
King Salman ordered for Saud al-Qahtani, an adviser to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to be removed, according to the state-run Ikhbariya television, which was reported by Bloomberg News.
The news came as reports surfaced that the Saudis acknowledged that Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and Washington Post columnist, died after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this month.
The Saudi government stated that 18 Saudi nationals have been arrested and are being interrogated in connection with the case, according to a press release translated by The New York Times.
A public prosecutor has said that Khashoggi died after a fight broke out in the consulate.
Hahaha!
I remember that delightful, oh-so-true graphic.
Wonder if she and her then “boss” shared in the stolen gold. Didn’t she have her Chappaqua swimming pool closed and covered with dirt? Maybe the gold is buried there.
I had on fellow student who got a kick out of going into the room before the exam and cleaned the Arabic writing off the desktops in the back of the room. There were some angry Arabs those days.
Wish the Saudis, the Turks and the Iranians would just start fighting each other already.
I got a big bag of popcorn waiting.

It seems that Saudi Arabia has some DOJ/FBI types trying to overthrow their government!
Saudi citizen, killed by Saudis, on Saudi territory.
And the guy was an associate of terrorists.
So ...
I really don’t give a flying fk.
The dumbest report of all.
Why send 15 guys to kill a fat, fake journalist?
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was done by people opposed to MBS. It was crude and obvious. The murder was meant to be discovered and made into an international crisis in order to remove MBS as future Saudi king.”
Bingo! We have a winner! Wahabbis strike again!

It’s called Syria. And the Christians were the ones caught in the middle.
I think Turkey did some pre-manipulation with the guy to make the saudis think he was up to something real bad and then tipped off the Saudis to ensure maximum chance of his demise...
