Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist, is murdered and butchered. A Turkish investigation reveals that it was carried out by the personal guards of MBS (Mohammed bin Salman), the Saudi prince. Turkish intelligence will assign a name and role to each member of the Saudi commando, some of whom are well-known faces. Khashoggi is scheduled to go to the Saudi consulate on October 2nd to complete the marriage formalities with his Turkish partner. Before leaving home, he confides to his partner that the Saudis would not dare do anything to him on Turkish soil. He will emerge from the consulate hacked to pieces with a chainsaw and stuffed into a suitcase. But the Turks had bugged the consulate and traced the 15 intelligence agents and the Saudi Royal Guard to the culprits. Khashoggi, a former Saudi royal spokesman, is held guilty by the Saudis of expressing views that contradict those of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saudi diplomatic headquarters in Istanbul, Turkey.
