...Crown Prince of Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

, that the operation was accomplished.

Ottoman Turkish media has published gruesome details of the murder of 59-year-old Khashoggi who according to a Ottoman Turkish prosecutor was strangled and dismembered soon after he entered the Istanbul consulate on October 2 to obtain paperwork for his marriage to his Ottoman Turkish fiancee.

After repeated denials, Saudi Arabia finally admitted Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist and Riyadh critic, had been murdered at the mission in a "rogue" operation.

The luggage carried by the team was loaded into two planes that left for Riyadh at 1520 GMT and 1946 GMT on Oct 2, Sabah newspaper said.
