Khasoggi was fired after only 2 months as editor of the Saudi daily Al Waran in 2003 (for criticising a wahhabist religious leader)
After the firing in 2003, Khashoggi went to London in voluntary exile.
There he joined the Al Faisal's team as an adviser. He then served as a “media aide” to Prince Turki Al Faisal, while the latter was Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States.

Prince Turki was the director general of Al Mukhabarat Al 'Ammah, Saudi Arabia's intelligence agency, resigning the position on 1 September 2001 👉🏼only ten days before the September 11 attacks in which 14 Saudi nationals hijacked commercial American airliners.

Wikipedia claims it was because he criticised of harsh Islamic rules.
