(Washington Post) David Ignatius - Behind the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi lies a power struggle within the Saudi royal family. After the death of King Abdullah in 2015, the two most powerful clans of the royal family jockeyed for power. The conflict set King Abdullah's wing of the family against Abdullah's brother - the new King Salman - and his son, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). Starting in the spring of 2017, a team of Saudi intelligence operatives, under the control of the royal court, began organizing kidnappings of dissidents abroad and at home, according to U.S. and Saudi experts. This helps explain the vortex that ultimately sucked in Khashoggi when he entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. MBS was paranoid about rivals, such as Abdullah's sons, and, later, about the threat from the uncontrollable journalist Khashoggi. 2018-11-28 00:00:00Full Article
