Jamal Khashoggi's Son Says Family 'Forgives' Father's Killers

VOA News

   One of the sons of murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has posted
   a statement on his Twitter account saying his family forgives the
   people who killed his father.
   "In this blessed night of the blessed month (of Ramadan) we remember
   God's saying: If a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward
   is due from Allah," Saleh Khashoggi wrote. "Therefore, we the sons of
   the Martyr Jamal Khashoggi announce that we pardon those who killed our
   father, seeking reward God almighty."
   Death sentences in Saudi Arabia can be commuted, if the family pardons
   the killer. It was not immediately clear if that would happen in this
   case.
