Missing Saudi Journalist Cut Up With Bone Saw?

[Black Orchid]

Footage has surfaced in Turkish media showing an alleged 15-member Saudi "assassination squad" making suspicious movements at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul where journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared a week ago.

It comes as The New York Times reports that highly placed Turkish security sources told the publication that Khashoggi was killed within hours of entering the consulate by a special hit squad on the orders of the Saudi government and that his body had been dismembered with a bone saw.

"It is like Pulp Fiction," one official told the Times.

Saudi Arabia has remained silent as the images have played across television networks in Turkey and around the world.

Turkish officials fear the team killed Khashoggi, who has been critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in his writing.

The kingdom has dismissed the allegation as "baseless", but has released no evidence supporting its version of events which is that Khashoggi left the consulate unharmed shortly after entering.

State-run broadcaster TRT aired video purportedly showing the Saudis arriving by private jet and then leaving a hotel.

The footage shows Khashoggi entering the consulate on October 2. An hour and 54 minutes later, according to the time stamp, a black Mercedes Vito with diplomatic license plates, which resembled a van parked outside of the consulate when the writer walked in, drives some 2 kilometres to the consul's home, where it parks inside a garage.

The footage all seemed to come from surveillance cameras, which would have been posted throughout the district housing the Saudi consulate and other diplomatic missions. No one has produced any such footage of Khashoggi leaving the consulate.

The Sabah newspaper, which is close to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, published images of what it referred to as the "assassination squad" apparently taken at passport control. It said they checked into two hotels in Istanbul on October 2 and left later that day.

One of the 15 Saudis identified by name and photo in the Sabah report is a forensic expert who has worked at the Saudi Interior Ministry for 20 years, according to a LinkedIn profile and Saudi media, and serves on the board of the Saudi Society of Forensic Medicine.

Other names and photos of the 15, who Sabah said travelled on diplomatic passports, match officers in the Saudi Army and Air Force, as identified by previous Saudi media reports and in one case a Facebook profile.

He wanted to marry a Turkish woman and so the Saudi consulate required his attendance.

The family’s emotional statement coincided with US media reports the Saudi kingdom may be mulling an admission Khashoggi died during a botched interrogation.

My thoughts too. Demands that Trump do something about anything on the one hand then strong criticism of him if he does do something about anything.
