The head of the German intelligence (BND) was sacked 2016
partly because he released a report in December 2015 about MbS. The assessment was not in line with the attitude of the Federal Government, which was interested in “constructive relations” with Riyadh.
Once again it raises the question about politicians that do not want to see the world as it is, but as they are conditioned to see it.
Information obtained by Yeni Safak indicates that Saudi intelligence officer Mutreb called Asaker, who is in Crown Prince Salman’s close circle, four times the day Khashoggi was killed. Mutreb was a diplomat in the Saudi embassy in London and has travelled frequently with the crown prince.
It was found that Mutreb also contacted a U.S. number thought to be the Saudi envoy in Washington, Khaled bin Salman.
Khaled is the younger brother of Salman, who was appointed as Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the U.S. in 2017. He left Washington for Riyadh once the murder of Khashoggi was exposed.
of course no one listened to these calls ;-)
Turkish authorities believe part of Jamal Khashoggi’s body was transported out of Turkey by one of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s bodyguards, sources have told Middle East Eye.
Maher Abdulaziz Mutrib, an intelligence officer implicated in the killing of the Saudi journalist, is thought to have taken the body part out in a large bag, the sources said.
Mutrib, who is often seen travelling with the heir to the Saudi throne, left Istanbul on 2 October, the day of Khashoggi’s death, on a private jet that departed at 18:20 local time.
His bags were not checked as he passed through the VIP lounge at Ataturk airport and neither was the plane, with tail registration HZ-SK1. This was because the plane left before the alarm was raised. A second plane was searched from top to bottom and nothing was found, according to the sources.
Heading to the headquarter?
Some background and a new theory:
His fiancé, a Turkish diplomat, is the daughter of a former adviser to Turkey’s Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Khashoggi started tweeting pictures of himself with Erdogan advisers. He was also planning to start a Turkish center, funded by the Turks and the Qataris, agitating for change in Saudi Arabia to champion dissent. But many of the dissenters he was championing were Islamists opposed to the attempts by MBS to modernize Saudi economy and society.
Increasingly alarmed, the MBS regime tried to bribe him. “Khashoggi was offered U.S. $9 million to return to Saudi Arabia, with a public guarantee that he would never be harmed. He refused.”
So the Saudis set out to bring Khashoggi back against his will. That’s why they sent the 15-strong squad, who had been alerted to the timing of his consular appointment. The intention was to extract him back to Riyadh, interrogate him and lock him up, probably for many years.
“If they’d wanted to kill him,” my informant said, “they could easily have paid $200,000 to the Chechen mafia in Istanbul who could have taken him out so easily and made it look like a robbery gone wrong.”
There was no kill order from Saudi Arabia. The planes that flew the squad into Turkey were owned by his friend, former Crown Prince Mohammed al Nayaf. Khashoggi would have been locked up and interrogated. They wanted to know who he had talked to and what he had revealed. They say some leaks from Qatar had his fingerprints all over them.
“So they set out to bring him back alive. The pathologist, a member of the inner circle, was there to ensure he remained sedated on the way back to Riyadh.”
But this, according to my source, was where disaster occurred. “The sedative gun malfunctioned and he suffocated from a massive overdose. He was 60 years old, he was overweight, his body couldn’t cope with it.”

Heading to the headquarter with the head to prove they got the right guy.
Now that makes a lot more sense than sending 15 guys to kill him when two hit men would do.
That’s really weird, why would a hit team leave someone there rather than all 15 return together?

Oops, never mind, I’ve been up all night and realized I totally misread that... he did return and got killed in Riyadh.Sorry.
That’s an interesting way to carry out a coup. Brennan would know this stuff. Not that they need us involved to have palace intrigue.
Interesting- a response to someone who over a year ago suggested he was a loose cannon.
Yes, and since a few days https://twitter.com/saudq1978 is back on Twitter.
Jeddah, Safar 13, 1440, October 22, 2018, SPA — Prince Abdullah bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Acting Governor of Makkah Region, expressed condolence and sympathy to the family of the deceased Jamal Khashoggi.
He said “we feel painful for the regrettable and painful incident that happened to the deceased, share with you condolence and pain, appeal to Allah Almighty to bestow mercy on his soul and inspire patience on you”.

We are dealing with subhumans here.
True.
His death by crazies should be treated the SAME as the death of ANY American by overseas nuts.
He was not an American. He was a US person. Please click and learn the difference.
Yes. WE CARE.
Why should we care? He was a worm. They are worms. This is Mooselimbs killing Mooselimbs over who is the greater savage. His US personage is a mere artifact.
But no, we ARE NOT GOING TO WAR OVER HIS DEATH.
Absolutely!
The geopolitical situation is unchanged.
KSA is against Iran and allied with US and Israel, wet affairs notwithstanding.
Much of this story makes no sense for the Saudis to kill a reporter in their own consulate.
Did the Saudis fly in a 15-member hit squad? If true, the Saudis are guilty. If false, the Turks were likely up to a false flag.
In any case, the Turks are worms along with the Saudis. They are just arguing about where the caliphate should be.
He is in place now: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1YqJDQNWvjwxV
Erdogan: The KSA team removed the cameras in the building before Khashoggi entered the building.
