Jamal Khashoggi

Beheadings, shooting people with impunity, monarchism, modern slavery, being the origin country of the most 9/11 hijackers, underaged arranged marriages, paying random women and girls from the Internet to go over there and then literally shitting on them. Buying children from Trump to sex traffic... and yes, using violence and torture to surpress journalism and political dissent.

That's underselling it.

If I remember correctly, all but one of them were Saudi.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

15 were from Saudi Arabia, two from the UAE, one from Egypt and one from Lebanon.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah, okay. So only 4 who weren't Saudis.

Also ... I'm detecting a notable lack of Afghanistan on that list...

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

And Iraq. No Iran either.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I think they were mostly living in Afghanistan prior to the attack.

They all traveled through countries (passport stamped and all) deemed not allowed for Saudi Arabia > United States travel. The Saudis allowed them to move freely. That was the detail that has stuck with me from the 9/11 commission report.

I thought they met and planned in Saudi
