Turkish media: Video shows team of alleged Saudi assassins

[APNEWS] Two Gulfstream jets carrying 15 Saudis landed at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport before dawn on the day last week that journalist Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi Consulate and vanished. The men checked into hotels and left The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

Adding to the macabre mystery, a Ottoman Turkish official told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that one member of the team was an "autopsy expert."

Saudi Arabia has dismissed allegations it played a role in Khashoggi’s disappearance as "baseless," but it has offered no evidence to support its contention he left the consulate unharmed last week and vanished into Istanbul while his fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, waited outside.

The video, shown on the state-run broadcaster TRT and others, did not offer definitive proof about Khashoggi’s fate. Ottoman Turkish officials have said that they fear the team killed him.
