By JAMEY KEATEN and AYA BATRAWY16 minutes ago
GENEVA (AP) The gathering on the second floor of the Saudi consulate featured an unlikely collection: a forensic doctor, intelligence and security officers, agents of the crown princes office. As they waited for their target to arrive, one asked how they would carry out the body.
Not to worry, the doctor said: Joints will be separated. It is not a problem, he assured. If we take plastic bags and cut it into pieces, it will be finished. We will wrap each of them.
Their prey, Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, would not leave the consulate in Istanbul alive. And on Wednesday, more than eight months after his death, a U.N. special rapporteur revealed new details of the slaying part of a report that insisted there was credible evidence to warrant further investigation and financial sanctions against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The report brought the grisly case back into the spotlight just as the prince and his country appeared to be emerging from the stain of the scandal. But it contained no smoking gun likely to cause President Donald Trump to abandon one of his closest allies and none likely to send the crown prince before a tribunal.

(10,177 posts)Trump and Kushner are neck-deep in this scandal with the Saudis. I hope Trump's (and Kushner's) financial entanglements in the region are fully investigated by Congress.
