It is very hard to know whom to believe in this case. Would the Saudis do something like this to suppress evidence? Of course. Did they? Maybe.
“Saudi suspect in Khashoggi case ‘dies in car accident’: Report,” Hürriyet Daily News, October 18, 2018:
A Turkish newspaper reported on Oct. 18 that one of the suspects involved in the disappearance of Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi died in a “suspicious car accident” in Riyadh.
Mashal Saad al-Bostani, a 31-year-old lieutenant of the Saudi Royal Air Forces, was among the 15 suspects who arrived and left Turkey on Oct. 2 after going to Saudi Arabia’s Istanbul consulate when Khashoggi visited there, according to daily Yeni Şafak.
The newspaper said sources did not release any details about the traffic accident in Riyadh and Bostani’s role in the “murder” was not yet clear.
Daily Hürriyet columnist Abdulkadir Selvi claimed on Oct. 18 that Saudi Arabia’s Istanbul consul Mohammad al-Otaibi could be “the next execution” as Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman “would do anything to get rid of evidence.”…

How convenient!
PRCS says
Indeed!
f c king says
Who eally cares ? The dead guy is saudi. it happened in Turkey. Just s muslim on muslim killing. No one cares when a non american muslim kills a non muslim. None of our business.
J_not_a says
Yes, how convenient. Did he get pointers from the Clinton’s? To quote Carly Simon’s song: “Nobody Does It Better”
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Mr spencer, that was the plan to destroy evidence between wicked evil Saudi monarchs and evil United States where the idiot monarchs paid $100 millions in consideration of the cover up from evil United States
Ernie says
Mr. Ibrahim itace muhammed , one question for you : what is the role of the U.S.A. here according to your opinion . I really have lost it ; to many schemes/( conspiracy)theories , fake news etc.. Maybe you can explain it all to me in a comprehensable and truthful way ?
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Ernie, evil United States is involved in the cover up to save that $110 Billion arms supply to wicked Saudi monarchs.Recently ,pampeo paid visit to idiot king salman who dashed $100 to evil United States in consideration of the denial of killing of khashoggi despite overwelming evidence.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
$100 millions
Sam says
This is so blatant and predictable. Saudis will execute all involved (except the top asses) and will say justice is served. It will be the end of it.
It looks tough something really went wrong and they just could not hide it. Because they can not be that stupid to kill an opponent in another country in their own embassy. I know they are evil but that stupid?
Ernie says
Sounds plausible mr. Ibrahim itace muhammed . The Trump administration and the Saudis will save the arms deal . Business as usual .
Peter says
Three Saudi princes tied to al-Qaeda and 9/11 reportedly died under dubious circumstances, not to mention some senior Pakistani officers. So, yes, getting rid of the evidence, even if that requires murdering those involved, is not beyond the realm of possibility.

mr khashoggi died for wanting freedom of thought in Saudi Arabia; those poor bastards will never learn, saudi will never believe in free thought; then all the crap about islam will come out of darkness to light and then the shit will really hit the fan
gravenimage says
Not exactly. Lawrence. Khashoggi himself had ugly ties to the Muslim Brotherhood–he wasn’t exactly for freedom, either.
That doesn’t make what the vicious Saudis did to him any less horrifying, of course.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Liar Gravenimage, simply because he is not in surrender of Billions of dollars to your armed robber and brigand evil United States he should be eliminated? wicked scums of evils!!

What part of “that doesn’t make what the vicious Saudis did to him any less horrifying, of course” does Ibrahim itace muhammed not understand?
I am no fan of the murderous Saudis.
All of these Muslim thugs are entirely appalling.

Turkish media reports Saudi suspect in Khashoggi case dies in suspicious car accident
………………
Well, I wouldn’t be surprised…
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Liar Gravenimage, that is why armed robber evil United States backed his brutal killing for his criticism against Saudi surrender of Billions of dollars to your evil United States? Assuming, not conceding, he supports Muslim Brotherhood, is that simple reason to kill him to serve the interest of your armed robber evil United States? Scums of evils!!
gravenimage says
The US never backed his killing–and neither have I. What calumny.
Rudolf Bruil says
A far fetched theory?
Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) did eliminate a few competitors so he could implement his new policies to establish himself as the new leader of Saudi Arabia. By doing this he has made more prominent enemies than he already had. Mohammed bin Salman’s enemies within the highest Saudi ranks orchestrated and executed the murdering of Jamal Khashoggi to blame MBS for it. Khashoggi, a friend of Osama bin Laden and of the Muslim Brotherhood was MBS one step ahead in “modernity” because he wrote for the Washington Post. By killing Khashoggi they could blame MBS and damage the Saudi relations with the US (existing since 1934) and Israel.
Could be that Turkey secretly joined the rebels (killers).
duh swami says
Hmmm Eighteen people arrested but only one killed by ‘accident’…I wonder what this guy knew that the rest of them didn’t?
David M says
I think the other seventeen will be dead shortly one way or the other to shut them up too.
rbla says
Question – how and why does a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and friend of bin Laden obtain permanent residence in the U.S.? Anyone among the media viruses pointing this out. Of course not.
Roger says
Muslims killing Muslims, Muslims killing Jews, Hindus, Christians. A continuation of hundreds of years of murdering. Muslims having sex with goats and sheep, drinking camel piss. People all over the world just do not want to see how Muslims operate. Sunnis hating Shea and hating all others. So the solution is…let them kill each other by the millions. Problem solved.

Fox news had an interesting interview with Rand Paul on this subject.
