Photos surface of Saudis allegedly sent to kill journalist Khashoggi
A Turkish newspaper published photos on Oct. 10 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. The report by the Sabah newspaper published images and names of the men apparently taken at passport control on Oct. 2, as well as the hotels they stayed at in Istanbul. Click through for the list, however, faces have been blurred by the Hürriyet Daily News due to the sensitive nature of the issue.
1) Salah M. A. T.: Born in 1971, arrived Turkey at 3:38 a.m. and left at 8:29 p.m. He traveled with a private jet both in arrival and departure. Daily Akşam claimed in a report on Oct. 10 that he is a military official who heads Saudi Arabia's forensics body. According to the newspaper, nine of the 15 Saudis in the list bought suitcases from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar but did not take them back to their countries when they departed Turkey. All the suspects reportedly went to their hotels after they landed in Istanbul and then visited the consulate before they left Turkey.

A surveillance video image surfaced Oct. 8 showing Khashoggi walking into the consulate in Istanbul’s upscale 4th Levent neighborhood. No evidence of him leaving the consulate has been made public. 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.
