Jamal Khashoggi was one of the
leading reporters in Saudi Arabia. After abandoning Saudi Arabia in 2017, he
had lived in self-imposed exile in Virginia. He then vanished after joining the
Istanbul Saudi Consulate on October 2, 2018. Turkish agents inside said he’s
been murdered. The Saudi state recognized that Khashoggi died there after
constantly rejecting it.

Journalist was murdered in the
Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, according to the morning post from southern China,
while allegedly collecting documents for a planned marriage to another lady.

Khashoggi, 59, was a major critic
of the present governance of Saudi Arabia, exchanging his opinions through
platforms including Washington Post opinion papers that started a year earlier
and were converted into Arabic. His career in journalism included stints in
Afghanistan, where he encountered leader Osama bin Laden in the 1980s and
attended the emergence of al-Qaeda. At the time of Sept. 11, 2001, he was
deputy editor-in-chief of the Saudi newspaper Arab News, attacking the U.S., making
him a valuable source for foreign journalists seeking to understand what led
some Muslims into such actions. He was shot twice in the 2000s from his
position as editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper Saudi Al-Watan, which
published articles, editorials and illustrations critical of extremists and how
the nation implemented its cultural principles under his management.

championed his jihad against the Soviets. Khashoggi visited bin Laden on
several occasions, generally meeting bin Laden in Tora Bora and again in Sudan
in 1995. According to columnist David Ignatius of the Washington Post,
“Khashoggi could not have moved with the Mujahideen without the tacit
assistance of Saudi intelligence, which coordinated assistance to the
combatants as part of its collaboration with the CIA against the Soviet Un.

Working with “The Washington
Post”

In June 2017, Khashoggi relocated to the United States and
began writing in September 2017 for The Washington Post.

Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, who thought the job of Khashoggi
was tarnishing his picture, advised Turki Aldakhil in September 2017 that he
would go after Khashoggi “with a bullet.”

Saudi Arabia used a renowned troll farm in Riyadh to harass
Khashoggi and other Saudi government opponents, hiring hundreds of individuals.
Former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden accused the Saudi government
of monitoring Khashoggi’s cell phone using spyware recognized as
“Pegasus.”
