Estimates put it near 80,000. This one was different because it was high profile, premeditated and it occurred on the grounds of a federal building. But I agree with your sentiments. All unnecessary deaths are hard to swallow.


Quotes From The JAMAL KHASHOGGI Murder Tape

Quote:
Khashoggi was immediately confronted by four Saudis after entering the consulate, one of whom grabbed his arm.
"Release my arm! What do you think you are doing?"

Khashoggi was then brought to the embassy's "B Room," where the leader of the hit squad started threatening the journalist.
"Traitor! You will be brought to account!"
The rest of the recording features verbal fighting, brawling and torture. After Khashoggi had been murdered, one of the hit squad members donned his clothes in an attempt to disguise himself as the journalist, to bolster the embassy's claim that he left the embassy. This prompted a joke from one member of the hit squad:
"It is spooky to wear the clothes of a man whom we killed 20 minutes ago."
