Jamal Khashoggi disappearance

Dohnjoe

Journalist and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi has disappeared after walking into the consulate in Turkey

As details are emerging.. it's really looking like this guy was bumped off. He gave 2 mobiles to his fiancee and told her to call one of Erdogan's advisors if he didn't come out - looks like he was aware of danger

It's already highly politically charged

Unreal stuff if the Saudis have offed him in their Turkish consulate

Could be Turkish propaganda about the dismemberment, but equally it could be true

There's a chance he could have been abducted and taken back on that plane, but there is literally no cover story his abducters could use, and next to zero political gain from it.. I would assume hes dead

Turkey is seeking preeminence in the region and on a word wide basis. The voice of the people of Islam. Their brand of Islam.

It is dubious about Saudi Arabia's louche-ness.

Trump says he's not happy. Nothing will happen there.
MBS in Saudi Arabia looks unstable.

Erdogan is typically petulant.

What will the outcome be, journalist murdered.
Little in terms of repurcussions.

Even though I would have thought that would be more along the Saudis way of doing things, bring him back, throw him in front of some religious court and then execute him, all official like.

ANKARA, Turkey — Top Turkish security officials have concluded that the Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on orders from the highest levels of the royal court, a senior official said Tuesday.

The official described a quick and complex operation in which Mr. Khashoggi was killed within two hours of his arrival at the consulate by a team of Saudi agents, who dismembered his body with a bone saw they brought for the purpose.

“It is like ‘Pulp Fiction,’” the official said.

was reading an article about this earlier and wondering are the Saudis taking a leaf out of the russian book.

Just flat out denying what a lot of people think they may have done. Although perhaps maybe the saudis are somewhat better organised than the russians.

Having said that there are already videos emerging of the 'alleged' hit team arriving in and out and about in Istanbul. Rumour has it one of them was a forensics expert so I guess they've got that going for them.

Was listening to this in the office yesterday on newstalk, there was also a theory that he might reappear somewhere in the near future,.

Completely bizarre either way.

At the moment it looks quite likely that he is dead, at the hands of a "hit squad".
