    I think as the money or income of a person increases, the threats for his life also increases. They is not a particular solution of staying safe on this earth where everyone is thursity of someone others life. We people have to stay civilized and peaceful!

    And this is why you don't elect a "businessman" who refuses to divest or care about the ethics of conflicts of interest

    Corker rails against Trump administration's intel 'clampdown' on Khashoggi
    The Tennessee's Republican's comments come as the president tells reporters it appears the journalist is dead.

    Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker warned the Trump administration on Thursday that its information “clampdown” on the alleged killing of Saudi journalistJamal Khashoggi can’t go on.

    The Tennessee Republican said in an interview he sought to view recent U.S. intelligence on Monday and Tuesday regarding Khashoggi’s disappearance and likely murder in Turkey this month but was told by U.S. officials that he could not do so. Corker suggested that the administration’s current opaque position on who may have killed Khashoggi and whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is responsible may be untenable.

    Saudi Arabia bans journalist for criticising Donald Trump
    Jamal Khashoggi said Mr Trump's Middle East stance is 'contradictory'

    A Saudi Arabian journalist and commentator has been banned by his country for criticising US President-elect Donald Trump.

    Jamal Khashoggi has been banned from writing in newspapers, making TV appearances and attending conferences, Middle East Eye reports.

    After Mr Khashoggi criticised Mr Trump's Middle East policies at a Washington think-tank on 10 November, an official Saudi spokesman said he did not represent the Kingdom in a statement to the Saudi Press Agency.

    Speaking at the Washington Institute, Mr Khashoggi described Mr Trump's stance on the Middle East as "contradictory", BreakingEnergy.com reported.

    Aide to Saudi Crown Prince, Suspect in Khashoggi Case, Is Shown Walking Into Consulate

    A frequent companion of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince entered the country’s consulate in Istanbul just hours before Jamal Khashoggi, a dissident writer, disappeared inside, according to a time-stamped photograph published on Thursday by a pro-government Turkish newspaper.

    The photograph of the companion, who has been previously identified as Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, is one of the most striking pieces of evidence to date linking Mr. Khashoggi’s Oct. 2 disappearance and possible death to the crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman.

    Killing someone on foreign turf is something everyone should care about.
