Four years after the brutal assassination of Saudi columnist Jamal Khashoggi, none of the 26 men implicated in his murder have faced any real punishment. The man accused of leading them, Saud al-Qahtani, never even stood trial. Away from the public eye since 2019, the former royal advisor’s name has made a recent comeback within the Kingdom’s social media networks, amid reports hinting at his imminent return to the heart of government: a government now officially headed by none other than Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman himself.
Retired Gen. Keith Alexander’s company IronNet signed an agreement with a Saudi Arabia cyberwarfare institute led by the official who oversaw Khashoggi’s killing.
