Fathers of slain US troops in Jordan see echoes of Jamal Khashoggi murder: 'Lie after lie'

Jordan rolled out false claims and gave shifting explanations after one of its soldiers killed three U.S. Green Beret trainers outside one of its bases in 2016, according to a new lawsuit brought by their families.

Fathers of the three slain soldiers who sued the kingdom this week say its handling of the deaths is reminiscent of Saudi Arabia’s changing explanations for the murder of Virginia resident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi at one its consulates last month.

The lawsuit takes aim at key Middle East ally Jordan and its lucrative relationship with the U.S., which saw $1.7 billion in aid flow to the kingdom last year — another echo of the tens of billions of dollars in arms sales at the heart of the Khashoggi debate.

You are simply being foolish if you ever believe anything a muslim says.

4:31 you seem like the authority on what is foolish. I trust you have spent your life dedicated to the practice.

The only reason anyone is even a little upset about this Saudi killing is because he was in Media.
Everyday the Saudi govt. kills people, that is what they do. If you are a Saudi citizen and you criticize the govt. you die.
This POS reporter did this on a regular basis. He signed his own death warrant by writing bad stuff about his king, royal family, and the government.

Like a lot of people are actually sayin, it is not our problem, not our concern.

Russia's Putin has killed journalists and rivals in several countries. There were four killed with poison in England in the past year. Nothing was done there so why is everyone making a big deal over the Khashoggi guy?
