A U.N. report details how the men waiting for journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul coolly discussed how they would dismember his corpse.
A new independent United Nations report provides a glimpse of the horrific last moments of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, detailing how the men lying in wait for him at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, coolly discussed how they would dismember his corpse.
But her report cast a chilling new light on the methodical planning by Khashoggi’s assailants that continued up to the moment Khashoggi entered the consulate in hopes of obtaining paperwork he needed to remarry — and amplified calls for greater scrutiny of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
President Trump, who has defended his administration’s close relationship with the Saudis, has already come under congressional pressure to seek greater accountability in the killing — calls that are likely to intensify with the grim narrative laid out in the report. But the U.N. document provides the clearest public account yet of the grisly last-minute admonitions and advice exchanged by the Saudi team awaiting him.
“The body is heavy,” Tubaigy explains. “First time I cut on the ground. If we take plastic bags and cut it into pieces, it will be finished."
