Istanbul, October 10
A newspaper close to the Turkish President published photos on Wednesday of what it said was a 15-member “assassination squad” allegedly sent to target Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who went missing after entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last week. Turkish officials suspect Khashoggi was killed at the Saudi consulate, allegations rejected by Saudi Arabia, which says he left the premises.
Turkey has been given permission to search the diplomatic post, an extraordinary development that shows the increasing international pressure the kingdom faces over Khashoggi’s disappearance.
The report by the Sabah newspaper, which is close to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, published images of the men apparently taken at passport control.
Khashoggi had written a series of columns for the Washington Post that were critical of assertive Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has led a drive to reform the Sunni monarchy. — AP
