The United States intelligence community has identified al-Qahtani as the ringleader of the assassination of Saudi dissident and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.[27] Al-Qahtani acted as the head of what American intelligence officials called the Saudi Rapid Intervention Group, which has reportedly undertaken at least a dozen operations since 2017.[8]
According to Arab and Turkish sources, al-Qahtani organized the Khashoggi operation, even calling into the consulate via Skype to talk with and insult Khashoggi before telling the assembled team: "Bring me the head of the dog."[7] The Saudi state prosecutor announced on 15 November 2018 that 11 agents were indicted and 5 charged with murdering Khashoggi. He added that Al-Qahtani met the leader of the team that killed Khashoggi before it was dispatched to Turkey. Al-Qahtani was not arrested.[24] Saudi officials have never revealed the whereabouts of Khashoggi’s remains.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman exchanged at least 11 messages with al-Qahtani in the hours before and after the assassination of Khashoggi, leading the Central Intelligence Agency to conclude that Mohammed ordered Khashoggi's murder.[29] A member of the Saudi hit team, Maher Mutreb, also called al-Qahtani to inform him that the operation has been completed.[33
And Al-Jazeera, though it is run by Qatar and has its own biases obviously, actually is willing to do serious investigative journalism and is willing to publish the truth, in spite of those n power around the world who don't want to hear it.
That's what all dictators and would-be dictators fear - the people hearing the truth. So what they do is create their own version of the truth (political propaganda) to "compete" with honest journalism and news, whether it be Putin and Russia Today, MBS and his Saudi social media crew, or the US Republican Party, especially under Trump, with FOX News and talk radio.
Gotta control the message before the people hear it unfiltered. Knowledge is power, after all...
