The 15 Saudi nationals who visited the consulate during Khashoggi’s disappearance have been revealed
New details are being obtained about the 15-member Saudi intelligence team that came to Istanbul on the very same day that prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi disappeared.
A group of 15 Saudi nationals, including some officials arrived in Istanbul and entered the consulate on Oct. 2, the same day Khashoggi was there, and later left the country.
They used two private jets: the HZ-SK1 and the HZ-SK2.
The names of Saudi officials who used two jets from Riyadh to Istanbul are: “Meshal Saad M Albostani, Salah Muhammed A Tubaigy, Naif Hassan S. Alarifi, Muhammed Saad H. Alzahrani, Mansur Othman M. Abahüseyin, Halid Aedh G. Altaibi, Abdulaziz Muhammed M. Alhawsawi, Waleed Abdullah M. Alsehri, Türki Müşerref M. Alsehri, Thaar Ghaleb T. Alharbi, Maher Abdulaziz M. Mutreb, Badr Lafi M. Alotaibi, Mustafa Muhammed M. Almadani, and Saif Saad Q Alqahtani.”
Khashoggi was last seen a week ago entering the consulate in Istanbul to get documents related to his forthcoming marriage. His fiancée, waiting outside, said he never emerged and Turkish sources said they believe Khashoggi, a prominent critic of Saudi policies, was killed inside the mission.
Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdoğan asked Saudi Arabia on Monday to prove its assertion that Khashoggi left the consulate.
