Saudi crown prince described slain journalist as a dangerous Islamist in call with White House
Source: Washington Post
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman described slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi as a dangerous Islamist days after his disappearance in a phone call with President Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner and national security adviser John Bolton, according to people familiar with the discussion.
In the call, which occurred before the kingdom publicly acknowledged killing Khashoggi, the crown prince urged Kushner and Bolton to preserve the U.S.-Saudi alliance and said the journalist was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group long opposed by Bolton and other senior Trump officials.
The attempt to criticize Khashoggi in private stands in contrast to the Saudi governments later public statements decrying the journalists death as a terrible mistake and a terrible tragedy.
The incident that happened is very painful, for all Saudis, the crown prince, the kingdoms de facto leader, said during a panel discussion last week. The incident is not justifiable.

BTW Saudi Arabia was the force behind 9/11 and they fund al Qaeda, Hamas, and the
Islamic Madrasas in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

(19,204 posts)just like his buddy, Little Donnie Trump. The Crown Prince of the Trump family, Jared Kushner, shares in the blame as well. He's the one who needs money so badly that he'll curl up with any lying dog as long as they'll "lend" him money. Fuck the entire lying Trump/House of Saud/Russian bunch.

They took no responsibility. Instead encouraged the US to attack their enemy Iraq as a response.
