Reports that Jamal Khashoggi's family could receive millions of dollars after his murder focus attention on a specific aspect of Islamic law: 'blood money' payments.

"The nightmare scenario for the Saudi government would have been the sight of Khashoggi's children in the U.S. speaking out," one analyst said.

The Post reported Tuesday that Khashoggi's two sons and two daughters had already each been given homes and monthly payments of $10,000 or more. According to the newspaper, the payments were cleared late last year by King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud. One official described the handouts as an acknowledgment that “a big injustice has been done,” the report said.

The payments, which NBC News has not independently confirmed, are likely an attempt to use a"traditional approach" to mitigate the international fallout from the murder, said Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, a Middle East fellow at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. The government likely wants to make sure the family does not"puncture the narrative the Saudis have spent months trying to get a grip over," Ulrichsen said.

And gas prices going up because his death is old news now and people forgot. We all have blood on our hands after this.

What questions? It's obvious the Saudi regime ordered him killed because that's the kind of people they are. Hardline islam...fact it's a totalitarian state and islamic law is at the centre of the way it operates says alot about islam as a religion.

Khashoggi-a bagman & double agent for the CIA, a mouth piece for the Iranians too. He was an anti-reformist, anti western civilization, & anti Jew. If the Saudi white shoe crew hadn’t done it, eventually Iran, the CIA, or “other” (he had a long list of haters) would have wet him

Hey,Yoo-hoo,Jewish Coalition, this is who Trump’s real allegiance lies with since this is where he&his Kushner get their bail out BILLIONS as they both constantly make BAD deals & loose LARGE sums of money. So what if Kushner claims to be Jewish, his heart lies where the cash is.

And Kushner is aiding these guys

hummmm....best ask BHO, he knows all about blood money...just look at the Iran deal. maybe we should clean our own house eh NBC?

Hearsay.
