The sooner their oil runs out and they go back to living in tents and riding camels the better.

Branson has just suspended dealings with them. Billion quid too.

That building must have been riddled with CCTV.

Blimey.

I'm not always a far of Richard Branson, but that's a very admirable stance if it's all it appears to be. Good for him.

Yes, but according to one report, they (the alleged murderers) removed all the hard drives, then the Saudis claimed the CCTV wasn't recording at the time.

Just read that. 15 member Saudi ‘team’ arrived and left the same day. Arrive at Consul with no luggage. Leave in Vito with luggage. I think the consul general's lawn might need digging up.

Indeed, don't want to lose an arms contract so have to pretend the murder did not happen, pathetic.

Exactly
How do they get away with it?

It is connected to public drains, and it seems the Turks may have found things in them already... oops. Also I wonder where the Apple Watch’s last-posted location was?

They have what we want.
In case you're thinking of pulling an Enduring Freedom on the place, imagine the fuss once bombs start falling on Mecca or Medina.

Hopefully (for the investigation) he was wearing a current model within range of his phone. Phone was with his fiancée who waited outside.

Looks like this will have economic repercussions and some diplomatic.

However no doubt some countries will be willing to sell them arms. Possibly including the UK

It’s interesting that the constant bombing of innocent civilians in Yemen over several years doesn’t really have any consequences for Saudi Arabia yet one well connected dissident journalist gets murdered and all hell breaks loose. War crimes = meh, one dead journalist = OMFGZ. What a strange world we live in.

The MSM create most of the news and the fate of journalists is one of their principal concerns.

Yes.

Without doubt somebody has been exceptionally stupid within the Saudi regime. Heads will roll I suspect within the security services. Un-authorised operations, somebody misunderstood instructions, blah, blah, blah. Then business as usual.

Thinking about it further & after the Salisbury affair it's evident talent in the hit-man world is thin on the ground!! Whilst incompetence is high.
