| Turkey seeks to shelve Khashoggi case |
| 2022-04-01 |
| [Rudaw] A ......who was simultaneously a very well paid Washington Post columnist and a long time propagandist for the Moslem Brotherhood and Al Qaeda — he died while on the Qatari payroll, but previously wrote at the behest of then-Saudi intel chief Prince Turki al-Faisal...... and hand the case over to Riyadh. |

| #6 SF said the motive for shelving the investigation into the murder appeared to be political. So was the feigned outrage. He was a POS Qatari MB tool |

| #5 Legally the prosecutor may be right. K was a Saudi citizen who entered the embassy or consulate of his own accord. That place is officially Saudi territory. He was apparently assaulted there. What jurisdiction does Turkey have for trying someone for a crime allegedly performed by Saudis whose vitim was a Saudi, on Saudi territory? Actually K had been exiled from Saudi Arabia and was not to return to it under penalty of death. He returned, sort of, and was apparently put to death. It is not clear that this action broke Saudi law. Enemies of the US and/or Saudi Arabia made a big fuss about this to harm relations and to help the ayatollahs in Iran. Would some country have the right to prosecute the US government or any official for the death of Epstein, or the death of that girl on january 6? That seems unlikely to me. What's the difference between these cases? |

| #4 Mr. Khashoggi was no mere activist. He was a paid propagandist, which is no doubt why the Washington Post led the outcry in the name of freedom of the press. |

| #3 Did they ever find Mr. Kashoggi’s body? Nope. Superbly done. Better than Hoffa. Almost like Hongwei but better. Puts the fear of death into those activist types. |

| #2 The case. For some reason, after using the case to attack the House of Saud, Presodent Erdogan now feels a need to suck up to them. Did they ever find Mr. Kashoggi’s body? I’ve managed to replace that mental file with much more interesting information. |
