Saudi got rid of Jamal Khashoggi's body by 'dissolving' it, claims Turkish official
[DAWN] The body of Jamal Khashoggi was "dissolved" after he was murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul a month ago, a Ottoman Turkish official said Friday, as the journalist's fiancee criticised the United States (US) reaction as "devoid of moral foundation".

's chief prosecutor on Wednesday confirmed for the first time that Khashoggi was strangled as soon as he entered the consulate on October 2 as part of a planned hit, and his body was then dismembered and destroyed.

"We now see that it wasn't just cut up, they got rid of the body by dissolving it," Yasin Aktay, an official in Turkey's ruling party, told the Hurriyet newspaper on Friday.

The claim echoed what a Ottoman Turkish official had earlier told the Washington Post ─ for which Khashoggi was a contributor ─ that authorities are investigating a theory the body was destroyed in acid.

"According to the latest information we have, the reason they cut up the body is it was easier to dissolve it," said Aktay, an adviser to Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First

#1 Most notable regarding Khashoggi's murder is the sudden availability of oil and reduction in oil prices. Trump is no longer mentioning that the KSA is not pumping enough oil to cover the loss of Iranian oil during the embargo.
