WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabian officials do not know details of how dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in their consulate in Istanbul or where his body is, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Sunday.

“He was killed in the consulate. We don’t know in terms of details how. We don’t know where the body is,” Jubeir said. “We are determined to uncover every stone. ... We are determined to punish those who are responsible for this murder.”

Jubeir called the killing of Khashoggi a terrible mistake and offered condolences to his family. The journalist has relatives still living in Saudi Arabia and three children who hold U.S. citizenship.

“This is a terrible mistake. This is a terrible tragedy. Our condolences go out to them. We feel their pain,” Jubeir said in the interview. “Unfortunately, a huge and grave mistake was made and I assure them that those responsible will be held accountable for this.”

Big mistake, the Crown Prince had nothing to do with it, they don't know how it happened,
and no idea where the body is too.

1. We have many consulates throughout the world, we don't know everything that goes on in each of them

Every consulate kills people differently

[marylandblue]

10. Just to be safe, I only go to consulates that use painless methods

[Marie Marie]

2. A Mistake???!!!

1 + 1 = 3 is a mistake. This was a brutal murder.

[Iliyah]

3. Where is the body?

That would prove he was tortured and killed.

Also, didn't I read he fought 15 men? That bullshit story got no where.

[marylandblue]

6. He is a tough cookie, he fought off fifteen men then dismembered himself

[dalton99a]

8. He was exhausted and decided to rest on the bone saw.

[Sunlei]

16. IMO, russia(they 'own' turkey government) released the street video and journalists

journalists 'smart watch' that all journalists use recorded & uploaded his own murder- until they sawed off his hands.

sloppy Saudi hit job foiled & exposed to the PUBLIC

[marylandblue]

4. Check the Prince's Halloween display

I bet it has real skeletons in it.

[PoliticAverse]

5. "where his body is" - apparently that should be "where the body parts are." n/t

[Solly Mack]

7. Didn't happen. Interrogation gone bad. Fistfight. Chokehold. We don't know. An oopsie.

Damn.

And they fully expect people to accept their lies.

[asiliveandbreathe]

9. Here is a message to saudis - produce the body....until you do - we will not support

you (Saudis) in any way.....

[cstanleytech]

11. "This is a terrible mistake" Bullshit, this was planned from the start and its completely

unbelievable that the Saudi government was not involved.

[Botany]

12. Planned you say?

The Saudi team flew to Instanbul on one of the Prince's plane.

They arrived @ the consulate before Khashoggi scheduled appointment.

They brought along a bone saw to cut up the body.

They killed Khashoggi, cut up his body, and had it "go someplace."

They had a cleaning crew and painters come into the consulate after the murder.

They flew out of Istanbul shortly after the murder.

And one of the hit team just died in a car accident.

******

My only question is did Kushner help in setting Khashoggi up to be killed?

13. They are so full of crap,

This 'country' needs to be ostracized and punished in every conceivable manner. Clearly they're lying and hiding the details of this murder. It like goes up to the Crown Prince and even the Trumps. Enough of this bullshit, bring on justice.

[sakabatou]

14. Bullshit!

[Sunlei]

15. The "body" went into the 2 private jets that no one searched at all. diplomatic immunity!

[keithbvadu2]

18. Don't know? They can't ask the people involved?

Don't know? They can't ask the people involved?

[RockRaven]

19. After saying it was an interrogation gone bad, after then saying he started a fistfight, now they

say they don't know.

Every time they change their story, they are admitting that they either were or are now lying.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. That is the FIRST piece of BS in this story.

WHAT interrogation ? He went there to obtain documents relative to his upcoming marriage.

WHAT fucking interrogation are they referencing ?

[choie]

20. I remember this guy Jubeir

he was the mouthpiece that the Saudis sent out to lie about their role in 9/11. Bastards.

[Tom Rinaldo]

21. The only thing noteworthy about this statment is that it doesn't repeat the current cover story

In other words the Saudi's are still weighing their options as to whether they have to admit more or not.
