Saudis don't know where Khashoggi's body is: official

AFP/File / JOHN THYS
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir says Saudi authorities do not know the location of slain
dissident Jamal Khashoggi

Riyadh does not know the location of dissident Jamal Khashoggi's body, despite having detained the Saudi team that murdered him, a high-ranking foreign affairs official in the kingdom said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

The dissident journalist was dismembered after his murder October 2 in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul but his remains have yet to be found.

Adel al-Jubeir, Saudi minister of state for foreign affairs, said the murder was carried out by Saudi officials "acting outside their scope of authority" and that 11 people have been charged with the crime.

But asked where Khashoggi's body is, he told CBS's "Face the Nation," "We don't know."

Did you see the 70 page, full color, glossy print book of the great Saudi Kingdom on sale at local supermarket tabloid racks everywhere on The Rachel Maddow Show? When are we going to investigate that Dems? I hope they don't forget to also investigate Justice Kennedy's departure and his son's involvement with tRump and Duetche Bank.

and Trump/ Kushner et al are complicit. Erdogan claimed to have the evidence and it never surfaced (for public). We are being kept in the dark by a corrupt, murderous cabal that has connections world-wide. The high five between MBS and Putin said it all. "Nice hit MBS; you're awesome. That bone-saw was killer." Despicable and evil acts that we are not addressing as a nation, and by extension, condoning. How far USA has fallen.
