2018-10-12 4

Turkish authorities believe 15 Saudi men who arrived in Istanbul on October 2 are connected to the disappearance and possible murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. According to CNN, at least some of the men appear to have high-level connections in the Saudi government. On Tuesday, a pro-government Turkish newspaper listed 15 names alongside photographs of men who authorities believe were flown into Istanbul from Riyadh. The state-run Anadolu news agency later published similar details on eight of the individuals. Turkish officials contend that their mission was to assassinate Khashoggi, and that Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate.
