Saudi Arabia sentences five to death for murder of Jamal Khashoggi

Guardian-

Five men have been sentenced to death and another three face 24 years in prison for their roles in the gruesome murder of the dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last year, the Saudi public prosecutor’s office has said.

All 11 people on trial were found guilty of the killing, which triggered the kingdom’s biggest diplomatic crisis since the 9/11 attacks as world leaders and business executives sought to distance themselves from Riyadh.

However, Saudi state television also reported the Saudi attorney general’s investigation showed that the crown prince Mohammed bin Salman’s former top adviser, Saud al-Qahtani, had no proven involvement in the killing, after being investigated and released without charge.

  1. Death? Prison? Hell no, they should get medals.

    Kashoggi was no journalist. He was a propagandist for the Mohammedan Brotherhood, the original inventors of the entire modern-day Mohammedan terrorism movement

    Kashoggi wrote garbage and he went into the garbage disposal. Sounds like Justice to me

  2. While it isn’t nice to hacksaw and dispose of a human body, Khashoggi was a suspicious character.

    One tidbit that’s been buried/downplayed….Khashoggi was married to an Egyptian woman just a few months prior to arriving at the Embassy in Turkey to obtain documentation to marry his “finance”.

    The Iman in Northern VA who performed the ceremony, has refused to provide her with proof/documentation. She is pursuing the matter via legal channels in the US.

    Good luck with that honey.

  3. He lived in a Kingdom.
    One that has a King
    His King has unlimited power over his subjects
    He pissed off his King, and his King acted as Kings do.
    Don’t like it?
    Don’t live there

  4. All the other poor schlubs that get stoned for minor “crimes” go ignored by the media, but this scumbag gets front page news. More proof the media needs to be destroyed.

  5. Judge sentenced these guys to die but only after a significant number of American Service members can be killed in surprise attacks by their military at bases in the US.

    It’s called reprisal death squads by Allied forces. Meanwhile US officials continue to not arm US military forces regardless of where they are regardless of the target on their backs. At least police are usually armed when in public why can’t the military?

    P.S. Who gives a shit about ragheads killing ragheads?
