Jamal Khashoggi's body reported to have been burned in specially built oven at Saudi consul's home
It would not seem possible for the story of former Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi to get uglier, but it has. Al Jazeera is reporting that the mystery location of the murdered journalist’s body may have been solved—in the form of ash from a very large oven.
A United States resident, Khashoggi was lured to the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Turkey in October, 2018. The journalist thought this was a happy occasion. He was just going inside to pick up some papers necessary for an upcoming marriage.
But once through the door, a team of assassins under the direction of Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman ambushed the journalist and took him prisoner. Over the course of several hours, he was beaten, stripped naked, tortured, and dismembered—then he was killed. In that order. Meanwhile, as Khashoggi suffered, one of the team sent by bin Salman strolled around the city wearing his clothes in an attempt to plant a false alibi that the journalist had left shortly after arriving.
For days following Khashoggi’s disappearance, the Saudi authorities claimed that he had left the consulate unharmed. Then came a rapid series of excuses, all of them designed to deflect blame from bin Salman. As it stands, eleven men identified as being members of the hit team sent to Turkey are supposedly under arrest in Saudi Arabia, but bin Salman has dodged all blame. And as more and more evidence pours out, including horrifying audio of the torture and murder, one question has remained unanswered—what happened to Jamal Khashoggi’s body? It wasn’t found at the consulate. It didn’t seem to go out with the killers who left that day by plane. So … how did the Saudi team dispose of the body?
According to a documentary report from al Jazeera the Saudi consul in Istanbul had a large, high temperature outdoor oven built at his home shortly after arrangements were made with Khashoggi. On the day of his disappearance, several members of the murder squad were seen entering the home with large suitcases. And Turkish investigators confirmed that the oven was used in the three days following Khashoggi’s visit to the consulate.
