‘Cut it into pieces’: Jamal Khashoggi’s dismemberment was methodically planned, U.N. report says

LA Times  

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. “It will be finished.” The report by Agnes Callamard, the world body’s special rapporteur for extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary executions, held Saudi Arabia responsible for the Oct. 2 killing. RELATED: Read the full United Nations report on the killing of Jamal Khashoggi » Many experts had already discounted the possibility that the elaborate operation to entrap and kill Khashoggi could have taken place without the knowledge of the crown prince, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler. Callamard concurred with that view, calling it “inconceivable” that such an operation could have been carried out “without the crown prince being aware, at a minimum, that some sort of mission of a criminal nature, directed at Mr. Khashoggi, was being launched.” The crown prince has never acknowledged any culpability, but the report suggests possible avenues for punishing him, including sanctions of his personal assets. If we take plastic bags and cut it into pieces, it will be finished.” The report also detailed apparent attempts to cover up the killing, citing “credible evidence” that the scene had been “thoroughly, even forensically cleaned.” A subsequent Saudi investigation, Callamard wrote, was “not conducted in good faith.” The kingdom has said 11 suspects, whom it has not publicly identified, are currently on trial in Saudi Arabia, with five potentially facing the death penalty.
