Journalist Jamal Khashoggi 'was butchered while STILL ALIVE and took seven minutes to die

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Daily Mail

A source has claimed Jamal Kashoggi was butchered alive in a brutal seven-minute execution after reportedly hearing audio of the missing journalist's horrifying last moments.

The anonymous source, who claimed to have heard a recording captured on Kashoggi's Apple watch, told Middle East Eye he was killed after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.

According to the source, the tape reveals that Khashoggi was dragged from the Consul General’s office to a table next door in a study where he was surgically dismembered.

Audio recording is said to have captured the missing journalist's dying screams before he was 'injected with an unknown drug' and fell silent.

I'm not trying to suggest the Saudis are innocent, but I wouldn't put it past most of their enemies to exaggerate or outright lie, either.

I have very serious doubts about any interrogators leaving an Apple watch on the arm of a subject during their dirty work.

They may have wanted to broadcast the sounds of his torture to the world as a "don't fuck with us" gesture.

But is there ANYONE who doesn't think the Saudis are NOT capable of such debauched savagery ? Because this sounds like it is just up their alley.

Yet trump claims rogue killers , yes the prince's killers were summoned there to kill him . Trump was well aware of it . He's lying now about it to the American people. This will backfire on them all that were a part of this, especially for trump. He's too scared to say anything against the Saudi prince , much like he's too scared and weak against saying anything against putin. trump's so weak he can't say anything to these murderers.
