Every time we hate, we tumble straight into the fire of hell

...Khashoggi was seen as a source.of information on Saudi Arabia; in one case, a former FBI agent working on behalf of the families of victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 contacted Khashoggi.2 

... According to the CIA’s findings, two months prior to Khashoggi’s murder, Defendant MBS said that if he could not lure Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia on his own, “We could possibly lure him outside Saudi Arabia and make arrangements.”47 The agency found that evidence established that Defendant MBS had ordered Khashoggi’s murder.

...While in the United States, Mr. Khashoggi made a phone call to then Saudi Ambassador Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi Ambassador to the United States and brother to Defendant MBS. Mr. Khashoggi sought assurances that it would be safe for him to visit the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. Khalid bin Salman was in Washington, D.C. during the call and – in a continuing effort to entice Mr. Khashoggi to Istanbul under false pretenses – reiterated that Mr. Khashoggi should go to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents. Khalid bin Salman gave Mr. Khashoggi assurances that it would be safe to do so. Reports indicate that Khalid Bin Salman made these assurances at the direction of his brother, Defendant MBS.5

Complaint

Hakan Fidan potrebbe essere chiamato a riferire della risposta che (non) ottenne quando telefonò all'erede al trono per chiedere di indicargli che fine avesse fatto Khashoggi. Circostanza questa, riferita dalla stampa turca e ripresa da Al Jazeera.

I pilastri dell'accusa, oltre al credito che il giornalista aveva presso fasce di vario tipo in America, sono costituiti dalla consapevolezza da parte dell'iintelligence americana che si trattava di un personaggio sotto la lente del regime e quindi a rischio, e dalla rete (anche all'interno della famiglia) di collaborazione sulla quale l'erede al trono poteva contare in virtù del ruolo ricoperto.

L'accusa presentata in una corte americana rappresenta, dopo quello di Yossi Cohen, un messaggio forte da parte turca. E' in gioco il futuro dell'Arabia Saudita.
