Saudi journalist who is openly critical of the world's largest supporter and funder of international terrorism friendliest and most amiable supplier of oil walks into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and just disappears. Coincidentally, a 15-man team turned up the same day and left later that day in diplomatic cars.

Turkish officials said Mr Khashoggi was killed on the premises and his body was then removed.

Investigators said a 15-person team arrived at the consulate on Tuesday, returning to Riyadh the same day.

So Turkey has named some of the 15 man hit squad that flew in on a couple of Saudi diplomatic private jets and then after the deed flew to numerous countries on the same jets.

One appears to be Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy, the chief of forensic evidence and an autopsy expert in the public security directorate of the Interior Ministry"

Worse, from the royals’ point of view, was that Khashoggi had dirt on Saudi links to al Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks. He had befriended Osama bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s in Afghanistan and Sudan while championing his jihad against the Soviets in dispatches. At that same time, he was employed by the Saudi intelligence services to try to persuade bin Laden to make peace with the Saudi royal family. The result? Khashoggi was the only non-royal Saudi who had the beef on the royals’ intimate dealing with al Qaeda in the lead-up to the 9/11 attacks. That would have been crucial if he had escalated his campaign to undermine the crown prince.
 
Anyone got SJW or muslim friends sharing some Abu Dhabi youtuber/facebooker on facebook? Similar to the above he seems to be on a gaslighting mission, trying to convince the world the UAE is a wonderful place... the latest one is police "happiness patrols" needlessly stopping good drivers in order to give them a certificate for driving well... :D

Did you see that BBC documentary a few days ago about Princess Latifa trying to escape from Dubai? Very scary and sinister place that.
