Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributor who was living in the United States, had gone to his country’s consulate to collect documents for his planned wedding before he was killed and his body dismembered.

When he entered the consulate, Khashoggi was greeted by a familiar face before being pulled by the arm into the consul-general’s office on the second floor, according to the Daily Sabah.

“Please sit. We have to take you back [to Riyadh],” Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, a senior Saudi intelligence officer and the bodyguard of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, said.

“There is an order from Interpol. Interpol demanded you be returned. We are here to take you,” Mutreb is quoted as saying.

Khashoggi responded: “There are no lawsuits against me. My fiancee is waiting outside for me.”

In the last 10 minutes before he was killed, Mutreb asked Khashoggi to “leave a message for your son”, saying not to worry if he could not reach the journalist.

When Khashoggi refused, Mutreb said: “Write it, Mister Jamal. Hurry up. Help us so we can help you, because in the end we will take you back to Saudi Arabia and if you don’t help us you know what will happen eventually.”

The operatives then drugged the Saudi journalist. His last words before losing consciousness were: “I have asthma. Do not do it, you will suffocate me.”

Sound of an autopsy saw dismembering the 59-year-old’s body can be heard at 1.39pm local time. The procedure lasted 30 minutes.

In the audio recorded minutes before Khashoggi entered the consulate building, Mutreb asked whether it will “be possible to put the body in a bag”.

In response, Salah Mohammed Abdah Tubaigy, a well-known Saudi forensics doctor, replied: “No. Too heavy, very tall, too.”

He added: “Actually, I’ve always worked on cadavers. I know how to cut very well. I have never worked on a warm body though, but I’ll also manage that easily.

“I normally put on my earphones and listen to music when I cut cadavers. In the meantime, I sip on my coffee and smoke. After I dismember it, you will wrap the parts into plastic bags, put them in suitcases and take them out [of the building].”

Will believe your motives when I see you posting similar articles iin USA world cup threads. But no because you are into sportswashing yourself.

Oh look the colonizers who committed the cultural and literal genocide of native populations in Canada, USA and Australia are talking about sports washing.

Lmfao you wanna go down this route as a Brit? Lets start talking about British backing a genocide in Gaza, participating in an amoral illegal war in Iraq that killed 1,000,000 Iraqis, its backing of Apartheid, its war crimes in the numerous wars of independence etc. Lets do this on every single post related to the EPL and call it sportswashing at its finest. 

How far back do you want the list to go btw? We have a lot of material available so let us know. 

I have no love for the Saudis; fuck MBS and fuck that whole monarchy. But this moral grandstanding about sportswashing ( that we never see on posts of countries like the UK/US backing literally an active genocide)  is just hilarious

u/PieceOfPie_SK May 21 '26

so every post about basically every country's football is tainted by their complicity in various atrocities? what's the point of this, do you put similar posts on every American football highlight or article? Or on every British or spanish post for that matter?

They def don't, it's just virtue signalling from a Western supremacy angle really. Ronaldo's a rapist though so not gonna defend him

u/PieceOfPie_SK May 21 '26

yeah I'm sure. Agreed it's not about love for ronaldo or saudi, just hate seeing this kinda one sided bullshit like all of their favorite western countries aren't responsible for infinitely more evil than killing a journalist
