It's Time for the Saudis to Reveal Where Jamal Khashoggi's Body is Buried

Saudi Arabia continues to change their story regarding Jamal Khashoggi's murder and now admit that his assassination was premeditated, but planned without the knowledge of powerful Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman. The Kingdom understands how bad their position is now, but they still want to shield bin Salman if they can. But, even that is questionable.

New York Times: The new shift in the Saudi account coincided with a visit to Turkey by Gina Haspel, the director of the C.I.A., who was expected to gain access to an audio recording and other evidence that Turkey says proves Mr. Khashoggi was assassinated on orders from the upper levels of the Saudi royal family.

And the situation may get even worse for the Saudis.

The Guardian: The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has made fresh demands on Saudi Arabia to disclose the location of Jamal Khashoggi’s body and identify who ordered his killing, in a sign that Ankara is willing to keep up the pressure on the beleaguered kingdom.

The last thing Saudi Arabia wants is the world to see the extent of their brutality. Pictures of Khashoggi's dismembered body would shake the Kingdom to its core.
