CNN, 사우디 정부의 심문 잘못으로 카쇼기 사망 인정해야 주장 트럼프, "살인범들은 흉악범! 누가 알겠어?"    사우디 정부가 준비 중인 보고서에는 자말 카쇼기 기자가 터키에서 납치되는 과정에서 심문이 잘못되어(Interrogation gone wrong) 사망했다고 언급될 것이라고 CNN은 익명의 소식통을 인용해 보도했다. 터키에 거주하며 워싱턴 포스트에 글을 쓰고 있는 사우디 출신 언론인 카쇼기는 이스탄불에 있는 사우디 영사관에 들어가는 것이 마지막으로 목격되었다. 터키는 사우디 당국이 언론인을 살해하고 영사관에서 그의 시신을 조각조각 밀반출했다고 비난했다. 사우디는 그 혐의를 "사실 무근"이라고 부인했다. 그러나 CNN에 따르면 아직 발표되지 않은 정부 보고서에는 카쇼기 사망을 납치 미수와 관련해 "명확하고 투명하지 않은 채 행해진 것"이라고 비난하고 관련자들은 책임을 져야 할 것이라고 말했다. 이는 CNN 특파원들과 대화한 것으로 알려진 두 명의 익명의 소식통에 바탕을 두고 있으며, 정확히 확인되지는 않고 있다. "아마 이 살인범들이 흉악범이었을지도 모른다는 생각이 들었다. 누가 알겠어?" 도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 17일 사우디 국왕 살만 빈 압둘라지즈 알 사우드와의 대화와 마이크 폼페이 국무장관을 리야드에 파견한 뒤 이같이 밝혔다. 트럼프 대통령은 "살만국왕은 아는 바가 없다는 확신적인 방식으로 나에게 말을 걸었다"고 기자들에게 말했다. 자말 카쇼기, 중동과 미국을 뒤흔드는 사우디 유력 언론인의 실종  VIDEO: Jamal Khashoggi: What we know about journalist’s disappearance 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator

Khashoggi, a Saudi national living in Turkey and writing for the Washington Post, was last seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Ankara has accused the authorities in Riyadh of murdering the journalist and smuggling his body out of the consulate in pieces. Saudi Arabia has denied the charges as “baseless.”

According to CNN, however, a still-unpublished government report will blame Khashoggi’s death on an attempted abduction and botched questioning, “carried out without clearance and transparency” and say that those involved will be held responsible. This is based on two anonymous sources that reportedly spoke to CNN’s correspondents, and has not been independently confirmed.

“It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. Who knows?” US President Donald Trump said on Monday, after talking to Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and dispatching Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Riyadh.

Salman “told me in a very firm way that they had no knowledge of it,” Trump told reporters.

The US Senate has already asked Trump to open a Global Magnitsky Act investigation into Khashoggi’s disappearance, which would result in sanctions against persons or governments found responsible. Trump said there would be “severe punishment” for the affair, which he described as “really terrible and disgusting.”

The CNN report comes as a team of investigators arrived at the consulate in Istanbul on Monday. While the details of the team’s composition remain unknown, it presumably consists of Saudi and Turkish officials, who arrived in unmarked police vehicles.

The New York Times cited an anonymous source “familiar with Saudi plans,” who said that Riyadh was preparing a “narrative” that an intelligence official was “tragically incompetent” in carrying out the order for Khashoggi’s interrogation and rendition to Saudi Arabia. The story is intended to deflect the blame from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Times said.
