Saudi Prosecutors Charge 11 Suspects And Say Five Face The Death Penalty For Murdering Journalist Jamal Khashoggi



Daily Mail/AFP: Saudi Arabia will BEHEAD Khashoggi killers: Prosecutors charge 11 suspects and say five face the death penalty for murdering journalist with a lethal injection - but Crown Prince is cleared

* Saudi Arabia has charged 11 men with murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi
* Kingdom will seek death penalty against five of those directly involved in killing
* But prosecutor said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was not involved
* Saudi believes Khashoggi was killed with lethal injection, then dismembered
* Foreign minister said 'mistakes happen' but killers will now be brought to justice

Five Saudi officials are facing the death penalty after being accused of murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Shalaan al-Shalaan, the kingdom's deputy public prosecutor, revealed on Thursday that 21 people are in custody over the killing and charges have been brought against 11 of them.

Al-Shalaan requested the death penalty for five who 'are charged with ordering and committing the crime and for the appropriate sentences for the other indicted individuals'.

But he exonerated Saudi's de-facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman by laying ultimate blame for Khashoggi's killing at the feet of two lesser officials.

Executions in Saudi Arabia are usually carried out publicly by beheading with a sword.

Return of the Show Trials, will MbS be watching behind a curtain as the trials unfold?

Obviously he was the mastermind in the killing. Regardless the US has far more important business to conduct with SA to allow the killing of a Saudi to derail the relationship.

That's certainly what Russia and Turkey and Iran, China want - that the US's relationship with Saudi Arabia turns worse. That is -exactly- what they want. And again, CNN tells us we should do just that. Makes you wonder.. For two years this network has ripped the country apart, always while portraying Trump as the enemy, as Hitler, as a Tyrant, as a Sexist, Racist, I can't even name all the things here they said on national (world wide) television. And yet here we go again, without evidence (presumption of innocence even matters with scumbags like that prince) they tell us to abandon US interests, and go for him, make him pay. Because Turkey (Russia's dog) tells us so. Maybe they are right, but they have been wrong and weakening the US for 2 years straight up. Completely divided and misinformed half the country. Insulted the presidency. Called half the country biggots. Just because the NYT/WAPO/MSNBC/CNN tell us something, doesn't make it so. There have been hundreds of incidents over the last 2 years were they were forced to redact. Hundreds. Not tens. Hundreds. About 10 a month. That's flooding the airwaves and news outlets with false information. To which purpose? Why do -they- always portray Putin as this grand 5D chess master, while Trump is actually winning. Why do they make Putin look so good all the time and divide our own country? Just think about it honestly. And all the election scandals are on the Democrats side. Even a CNN Operative (Donna Brazille) was CAUGHT handing over town hall questions to Clinton, and only then got fired after enormous pressure (which the left usually doesn't see, because all the protected classes and entitlement thinking and "oh no you didn't" is on the left)

Show trials demanded by the twitter beasts.


Know twit with a blue check mark will put his or her ass on the line to make Saudi Arabia right.

So it is a lot of bluster that will get 5 or so more people killed. Congrats!
