1/ Thread: Saudi Arabia found journalist Jamal Khashoggi's murder was "not premeditated," in contrast to numerous UN and CIA reports linking the death to the Saudi Crown Prince. alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…
2/ Five people have been sentenced to death for his murder, however two top figures investigated over the killing have been exonerated - two senior aides to Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as it's business as usual in the country. alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…
3/ Jamal Khashoggi was a columnist for @washingtonpost and was murdered in Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018 by a team of agents from the kingdom. An international outcry followed looking into the circumstances of his death. alaraby.co.uk/english/indept…
@washingtonpost 4/ No evidence was reportedly found against Saud al-Qahtani either, who was removed from his role as top adviser to the crown prince in the aftermath of the murder. Dubbed the ‘Saudi Steve Bannon’, he oversaw the torture of Saudi women. alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…
@washingtonpost 5/ Qahtani was a brutal media enforcer for Mohammed bin Salman, masterminding the arrest of hundreds and orchestrating the detention of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri. The country is ‘doubling down’ on repression following the killing. alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…
@washingtonpost 6/ Information about the team that carried out Khashoggi’s murder was published by a Turkish newspaper, which released testimonies from those involved, including some of whom explicitly attempted to cover up the role of Crown Prince Mohammed.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…
@washingtonpost 7/ In October the former fiancée of the late #Khashoggi and RSF secretary general appealed to G20 in an exclusive calling on "considerable international mobilisation" and argued the death is a "state crime" and should be given the full extent of the law alaraby.co.uk/english/commen…
@washingtonpost 8/ In an exclusive interview Agness Callamard, UN Special Rapporteur on Extra-Judicial Executions released a report revealing #Khashoggi’s killers acted officially, benefited from state resources and planned the crime – it wasn’t a “rogue operation” alaraby.co.uk/english/indept…
@washingtonpost 9/ Israeli spyware Pegasus was used to spy on #Khashoggi and track conversations with his friend, Canadian Saudi activist Omar Abdulaziz. He claims the hacking of his phone “played a major role in what happened to Jamal” alaraby.co.uk/english/indept…
@washingtonpost 10/ Media watchdog RSF joined the chorus of condemnation over the verdict - the secretary general said the sentences “can be interpreted as a means to permanently silence the suspects, a way to prevent them from speaking to better cover up the truth” alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…

[Thread] 1/ Apparently on Friday, the Twitter account of Kjetil Jansrud, a famous Norwegian skiier, was hacked. Bizarrely, the account was hacked and taken over by one Reem bint Waleed. The profile image is of Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. Ironically, Al-Waleed was reportedly
2/ the second largest individual shareholder in Twitter (see link). The account of @Kjansrud has now been restored. However, during its brief tenure, the account was nationalist in tone, and celebrated Saudi and its leadership. bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/artic…
@Kjansrud 3/ As you can see from the below tweet, the account calls to protect Saudi from its enemies. What is perhaps more bizarre, is that the biography of the account is that of Reema bint al Bandar, the relatively new Saudi Ambassador the USA....However, the name is different.

How can we as #Americans accept that our government is responsible for the #genocide of #Yemeni civilians? How can we as a society not demand by every means necessary for the world's greatest #Humanitarian #Crisis to end?

#Yemen before #War
#Yemen a beautiful country full of beautiful #Yemeni who simply want to be left in peace. A country that's only fault is it's location in the world. A location that for the #US is strategically located close to #SaudiArabia, #Iran, and #Israel.
The #UnitedStates #Indoctrination and #Propaganda machine #FakeNews would have the American people believe we are helping to ensure peace and stability in the region. This is a claim that by now ALL AMERICANS should know is false!

Where'd the story on #Khashoggi go? The media narrative on him was nonstop 24/7 for 2 weeks then BAM, his story disappeared as fast as he did. Why? Read on...
2. Folks, this Khashoggi incident has WAY too many suspicious angles to it. You all know I've written multiple pieces on this as events and facts have developed. I still stand by my very first writing, a theme I have carried the whole time. This incident is doing one major thing.
3. From the earliest of campaign speeches, @realDonaldTrump spoke VERY unfavorably of the Saudis. Many times he's said they were responsible for 9/11 and that we invaded the wrong country by going to Iraq, implicating we should've invaded Saudi! He's also said for far too long...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Turkey has concluded that Jamal #Khashoggi, a prominent journalist from Saudi Arabia, was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul earlier this week by a 15-member Saudi team sent “specifically for the murder" washingtonpost.com/world/middle_e…
"#Khashoggi visited the consulate to obtain documents related to his upcoming wedding.

The killing, if confirmed, would mark a stunning escalation of Saudi Arabia’s effort to silence dissent, rounding up clerics, business execs & women’s rights advocates"
"The initial assessment of the Turkish police is that Mr. #Khashoggi has been killed at the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul. We believe that the murder was premeditated and the body was subsequently moved out of the consulate." reuters.com/article/us-sau…

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
