The disappearance of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi made international headlines. “The mystery deepens tonight over the fate of Jamal Khashoggi. Did the Saudi royal family have him murdered?” News outlets from Saudi Arabia broadcast their own theories of what they say really happened. Khashoggi is a former adviser to senior Saudi officials. He moved to the U.S. last year and has been working as a columnist for The Washington Post. “We in Saudi Arabia had about 10,000 royalties who were acting around us like little kings.” He’s recently been critical of the Saudi government. Turkish authorities say Khashoggi was killed by a team of 15 men, who arrived in Istanbul on private jets from Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government has denied any involvement. But here’s the story Saudi media is telling: This segment says the team of 15 men from Saudi Arabia were simply tourists, not killers. In this segment, the anchors applaud a tweet that implies the Turkish media is spreading false information about the jet allegedly used to fly the Saudi hitmen. The theory revolves around a picture of the jet that the TV commentators agree is suspicious. But the picture is actually a generic stock image photographed at least two years earlier. One popular theory is that Qatar, a neighboring arrival of Saudi Arabia, is spreading the narrative that the Saudi royal family had Khashoggi killed. This theory is pervasive in Saudi media. Al Riyadh, a prominent pro-government daily newspaper, ran this op-ed on its front page. This headline reads: The Qatari media fails again in the Khashoggi disappearance case. But what really happened to Khashoggi remains a mystery.
