In Shifting Story, Saudi Arabia May Admit Dissident Journalist Was Killed

WASHINGTON - Saudi Arabia made an alternative statement of the dissidence of a dissident journalist on Monday, so he died at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul two weeks ago in a story that was shouting, according to a person who ' is trusted with the plans of the kingdoms. In Washington, President Trump made the possibility that Jamal Khashoggi was the victim of "unbeaten killers".

The line of changing history has claimed the previous details that occurred in the cases, including the drawings he killed and demolished. Among other things, the Turkish officials said: a specialist in autopsies that saw a bone was among the 15 Saudi officers who fled in and out of Istanbul in the day of Mr. Khashoggi disappeared.

The new declaration, as was his truth, was intended for the suffering of the political crisis, that the disappearance of Mr. Khashoggi for Saudi Arabia has made. The new story was also missing a lot of criticism of the Trump administration, which refused to win millions of dollars in arms sales to the kingdom and until now to plan for the next week to go to a rare Saudi investment forum.

And it can help Turkey, where an unstable economy of financial inference would benefit Riyadh's low-income tax credits.

The theory, however, was generally proclaimed by the friends of the Khashoggi, the rights of human rights and some of the Capitol Hill, which assumed that both officials had received his deaths for two weeks - including the recommendation by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman last week and the king himself on Monday.

"When the matter of truth was heard, the Saudis was going to do this," wrote Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Connecticut, in a Twitter post. "Always out of the ordinary they could have the PR of the United States to swallow their PR."

The hear trump speaks to King Salman of Saudi Arabia on Monday in a 20-minute phone call. The president said the king did not give a knowledge of what had happened to Mr. Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, who was critical of the Crown Prince.

"It sounds like me, if perhaps these evil-killers have been - who knows," said Mr. Trump, speaking with reporters when he rounded up to see territories in Georgia and Florida that were destroyed by Hurricane Michael.

Mr. Trump also said he said to the king: "The world sees. The world is spoken, and this is very important to get the dance. "The Saudi state-news service reports another on the conversation, where Mr. Trump praised the cooperation between the Saudis and the Turkish officials as they investigate Mr. Khashoggi's disappearance.

Turks officers said that Mr. Khashoggi was killed and after two weeks he disappeared in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

Later on Monday, a person who is familiar with the plans of the Saudi government, said Mr. Khashoggi was perhaps murdered in a story that was ruled by a Saudi official officer who was a friend of the Crown Prince. The person who speaks on the condition of anonymity, said President Mohammed enough confirmation, or even Mr. Khashoggi obtains to go back to Saudi Arabia under tears.

But, the person, the Saudi official officer, was too much looking for evidence to prove himself in the secret operations, then sought to conquer the injured works.

Azzam Tamimi, an Islamist friend of Mr. Khashoggi, called the "debt" theory "decent" for the credibility of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey.

"The Turks have learned so much that it is inappropriate that they can not do much better than the world tells what happened," said Tamimi, who disappeared the day for the first time because he was the lord Khashoggi for lunch in London.

The war of Khashoggi has adopted official Washington, which joined the Saudis, to help with the international reputation of the earthquake of Erdogan and threats of foreign policy priorities of the Trump Administration.

Mr. Trump sent Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Riad on Monday to meet King Salman. "Determining what happened to Jamal Khashoggi is something of great importance for the president," said Heather Nauert, the State Secretary spokesman.

The Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Khalid bin Salman, left Washington last week, returned to Riyadh and will not come back, a current and a former US officer said on Monday. It was not clear when he was replaced, or by whom. Prince Khalid is the younger brother of the Crown Prince.

The Saudi embassy in Washington has also canceled its natural departs, which was announced before October 18.

Washington's clubby diplomatic and lobbying worlds are driven by Khashoggi's case. On Monday, the Glover Park Group, which has a matter of $ 150,000 per month for the Saudi government and the BGR group, with a $ 80,000 per month contract, endorsed the relationships, according to people who are known with the situations. Her actions follow a similar movement by the Horn Group last week.

Counseling close to Prince Mohammed said he was by the universal sentencing following Mrs. Khashoggi was slapped.

This has established a scientific belief in western circles that the prince who was fighting a war in Yemen at the point of humanitarian disaster, launched an intense blockade against Qatar, a link between Saud elite arrested for money and two weeks won with a good statement to Mr. Khashoggi's lot is not ready for the throne.

"Many in Washington have concluded that this is a man that we can not do business with," said Gerald M. Feierstein, director of government, politics and programs in the Middle East Institute, a non-partisan think tank, and a former US ambassador to Yemen.

The Saudi Energy Minister announced a statement on Monday Washington journalists who served the kingdom for a long time as the world of energy 'shock absorber'. He asked "the global community of peoples respect and assert what Saudi Arabia has done."

Within five days of the Khashoggi's disaster on October 2, the Turkish security officers made anonymously that they had been asserted that the journalist was killed in the consulate. However, the magnitude has never ceased, and the complaints stopped after a sudden increase in high-level diplomatic contacts between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

That frustrated US intelligence and diplomatic officials, who attempted to use the Turks to prove the proof or provide loans from the Saudis.

US intelligence agencies earlier had a communication of Saudi officers on a plan for Mr. Khashoggi returned to Saudi Arabia from his home in the Washington area and then occupied him, a former senior US official said last week. These talks were shared with senators in classical material in the last week, making it impossible to subjugate them.

It is unknowingly a tried-and-run role of Mr. Khashoggi could be executed without the knowledge of Saudi rulers.

For the Trump administration, Mr. Khashoggi gets a job over foreign policy priorities. Mr. Trump has always said he does not want to risk what he calls $ 110 billion in weapons sale to the Saudis. And it raises Ryadje's willingness to raise oil production so that the upcoming sanctions on Iranian oil can not lead to inflation of gas prices at least as important.

The hear Trump earlier said that the episode did not affect the United States with Saudi Arabia, a close bond in the Middle Ages. But Mr. Trump was already pressured by some in Congress to respond to the Saudis with economic sanctions.

The relationship between the United States and the Saudi is always something of a delicate balance, reflected economic beliefs such as oil and weapons sales with the royal record of human rights.

From Monday, the Secretary of State, Steven Mnuchin, still plans to look at an investment conference in Riyadh this month when Prins Mohammed was expected to speak. Some US companies that planned to have the conference, including The New York Times, have been elaborated since the Khashoggi floor.

Mr. Khashoggi moved to Washington when Prince Mohammed begins a royal anti-corruption, as well as efforts to silence dissidents. The columnist is one of the best known news media in the kingdom and is a confidentiality for several other kings and princes.
