https://www.thedailybeast.com/saudi-arabia-finally-admits-to-killing-jamal-khashoggi-blames-general-close-to-crown-prince-mohammed-bin-salman?ref=home1. Kashoggi announces that he wants to go to the embassy.
2. A group of 15 people, including members of the Royal Guard and a forensics expert with a bone-saw, flys to Turkey and enters the embassy. Their plan is to convince Kashoggi to come back to Saudi-Arabia.
3. Both meet in the embassy. The discussion goes badly and somehow devolves into a fistfight between Kashoggi and the other 15 people.
4. During that fistfight, they accidently kill him.
5. Now with a corpse on their hand, they decide to cover it up and they just so happen to have a forensics expert with a bone-saw on hand.

The terror Jamaal must have felt knowing he wouldn't see his loved ones again.
Poor Jamaal Khashoggi and his fiance.

Especially when they began cutting off his fingers first per the audio tapes .... Its hard to succeed in a fistfight with only stubs.
This was an execution, with torture! Nothing less.

Kind of like when an American cop shoots an unarmed kid. Everybody knows the truth, but they will stick to the Republican Party Line.

(23,364 posts)Waving a bone saw in the air is a perfect way to make your case. Far better than a mere PowerPoint slide. And, if someone's fingers get in the way, well, accidents happen.
