Reuters reports that Turkish pro-government newspaper Sabah said on Wednesday it had identified a 15-member intelligence team it said was involved in the disappearance of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi was last seen a week ago entering the consulate in Istanbul. The purpose for visiting the consulate was to get documents related to his forthcoming marriage. His fiancée, waiting outside, said he never emerged. Turkish sources said they believe Khashoggi, a prominent critic of Saudi policies, was killed inside the mission. Saudi Arabia has dismissed as baseless accusations that it killed or abducted Khashoggi. Saudi authorities have so far not commented on the 15 nationals reported to have come to Turkey.
