Saudi crown prince calls Khashoggi murder ‘heinous crime,’ vows perpetrators will be brought to justice

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — In his first public comments since the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi security agents in Istanbul three weeks ago, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said Wednesday that his country is doing all it can to complete an investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Addressing a gathering of more than 3,000 business leaders from around the world at the Future Investment Initiative, Saudi Arabia’s signature economic forum, often called “Davos in the Desert,” Mohammed acknowledged no responsibility in the case. He called the killing “a heinous crime” that was “really painful to all Saudis” and to all other people.

He accused unidentified critics of trying to use the case to “drive a wedge” between Saudi Arabia and Turkey and pledged that this would not happen as long as his father is king and he is the crown prince.

The murder of Khashoggi, a leading critic of the young crown prince, has overshadowed the high-profile conference, intended to highlight Mohammed’s drive to modernize the kingdom’s economy and diversify away from oil.

Every enemy of MBS will now be hung if lucky or decapitated if not so lucky. There will be a total purge of anyone the CLOWN prince distrusts. And, there are many. Most will meet their demise behind the gates of prisons and maybe 4 or 5 will be the public show for the world media. This is how this guy operates, well how Saudi Arabia operates. And the CLOWN in the Oral Office will say "case closed they did a good fast job". #vote or we keep what we have and will get MORE of the same. (Now with bombs attached)

Claiming something he was behind as a bad act from someone else, and he's going to make those framed for this to pay for what he did. Typical from someone like this, and typical, trump and him are friends. Corruption will not reign long here or there.
