If I remember, the perpetrators were determined to be the Saudis. I don't remember the reason, but they had an axe to grind.

I never got to (or wanted to) see the images, but, by all reports, he ... er ... had nothing to be ashamed of.

Technically, it was a saw. The Saudi King was mad at Bezos because of a column in the Washington Post (which Bezos had purchased).

> "Saudi experts – dissidents and analysts – told the Guardian they believed Bezos was probably targeted because of his ownership of the Post and its coverage of Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi’s critical columns about Mohammed bin Salman and his campaign of repression against activists and intellectuals rankled the crown prince and his inner circle."
