Hackers have defaced the website of a major Saudi Arabian investment conference, days after Saudi officials admitted journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside their Istanbul consulate, allegedly in a “fist fight.”
The Future Investment Initiative forms part of the Saudi royal family’s Vision 2030 plan, which aims to encourage foreign investment and break the kingdom’s dependency on oil sales.
Visitors to the Initiative’s website on Monday however were greeted by a picture of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman holding a curved sword over the head of Khashoggi, as a masked figure in the background waves the black flag of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terrorist organization.
Looks like the website for the #Saudi Future Investment Initiative has been hacked. Screenshots below twitter.com/justinjfj/stat…

“For the sake of security for children worldwide, we urge all countries to put sanction (sic) on the Saudi regime. The regime, aligned with the United States, must be kept responsible for its barbaric and inhuman action, such as killing its own citizen Jamal Khashoggi and thousands of innocent people in Yemen,” on Monday.
Saudi officials have yet to substantiate their claim that Khashoggi died in a “fist fight,” or to provide details as to where the journalist’s body is. Turkey is conducting a separate investigation into the case, and maintains that Khashoggi was murdered by a Saudi assassination squad.
US President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he is not yet “satisfied” with Riyadh’s version of events, but will not pull out of lucrative arms deals with the Saudis. (RT)
