Khashoggi killing: Saudi sentence wipes MBS’s fingerprints

CNN  

CNN — A Saudi court’s announcement that five people have been sentenced to death for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi leaves more unanswered questions than it resolves. The US Treasury Department sanctioned Qahtani, along with 16 other Saudi officials, a month after the killing, describing him as “part of the planning and execution of the operation.” At the time, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the US “continues to diligently work to ascertain all of the facts and will hold accountable each of those we find responsible in order to achieve justice for Khashoggi’s fiancée, children and the family he leaves behind.” But the US did not publish further evidence implicating Qahtani. Video Ad Feedback Rugman: 'pragmatism has won the day' after Khashoggi's murder 14:08 - Source: CNN The court also said that Khashoggi’s killing did not amount to premeditated murder, according to Saudi state media, even though evidence from the audio recording retrieved from the consulate suggested the group had been sent on a mission to kill the journalist, an outspoken critic of the Saudi authorities. “The verdict fails to address the Saudi authorities’ involvement in this devastating crime or clarify the location of Jamal Khashoggi’s remains,” Amnesty said in a statement.
