Maj. Gen. Ahmed al-Assiri The "intel" dude who is going to get the chop for dissecting Khashoggi is the same PR/psyops that worked with Elliott Broidy/George Nader and Circinus to write op eds to make us love tribal dictators. C'mon media. Catch up. nytimes.com/2018/10/18/wor…
al_Assir is KSA's version of "Baghdad Bob. A French-educated, rising star and ideal cut out for Salman. Defending massacres of children in Yemen, refugees in Somalia and more by blaming NGO's and that damn lying media. His reward for dishonesty is just.

David Ignatius says that Prince Salman wanted to create a "Tiger Team" of rendition experts. Which kind of leads us right back to my original question. "Which PMC company trained the Saudi rendition team? washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
1995: A fine tuner of the extraordinary rendition program, CIA officer Michael Scheuer explain to Jane Mayer how the US trained, equipped and used Egyptians to hold and torture members of Saudi dissident Bin Laden's al Qaeda. “It was begun in desperation" newyorker.com/magazine/2005/…
Favorite rendition aircraft? Gulfstream IV. Same aircraft used by the Prince Salman in the botched rendition of Khashoggi. Saudi HZ SK2 (can be converted to air ambulance?) was used to bring team to Istanbul. Waited 19 hrs. Departed 19:54 UTC October 2. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
Here is an excellent time line from Andy Carvin. medium.com/@acarvin/how-f…
Sky Prime also runs the Saudi royal's personal charter fleet of Airbus A340 and smaller personal jets. Alpha Star Aviation Services owns Sky Prime and the medical evac configured G4's. It's good to be king. skyprimeav.com/en/home
Here is an interesting theory. Bear with me. How do I know that Khashoggi was planned as a rendition and not an assassination? Or worse that what turned out to be a murder was going to be a ruse to drug Khashoggi and use a medevac to fly him to Egypt as a cover? My experience.
Sept. 28 - Khashoggi applies for paperwork at Saudi consulate in Istanbul. He is told to return on the afternoon of Oct 2
Oct 1 - 11:40 PM HZ-SK2 departs Riyadh to IST lands early AM (3:13am) This has the rendition team on board. They make their way to the Saudi consulate in AM.
Oct 2 -1:14pm Khashoggi walks into Saudi Consulate at the same time that second Saudi jet HZ-SK1 takes off from Riyadh. This is the rendition plane that will take Khashoggi to Egypt for torture and interrogation.
Around 2pm Something goes terribly wrong inside the Consul’s office
Khashoggi is murdered and chopped up for disposal by one of the Saudi team
3:14pm Fiancé calls Turkish police.
Salman now has a problem. They murdered Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate. The Turks are wise.
4pm vehicles flee Saudi embassy with staff and presumably Khashoggi parts
90 mins after fleeing consulate. HZ-SK1 lands IST at 5:15pm but leaves 90 mins later at 6:40pm. This was the pickup plane. Destination is still Cairo then lands at 7:17 PM This was the jet that was supposed to take Khashoggi to Egypt....but alive.
Second plane that brought the rendition team, HZ-SK2 takes of 7:54pm around 40 mins after HZ-SK1 has left for Dubai. Landing in the UAE protects the team from arrest or extradition. Salman has a PR disaster on his hands. Turkey an ally of Qatar and Brotherhood is laughing.
