Turkish newspapers publish images of Khashoggi 'body double' after killing

(23 Oct 2018) Turkish newspaper headlines on Tuesday featured photos of a man leaving the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul apparently wearing Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi's clothes. On Monday, surveillance video on CNN showed the man in Khashoggi's dress shirt, suit jacket and pants, although he wore a different pair of shoes. It cited a Turkish official as describing the man as a "body double" and a member of the Saudi team sent to Istanbul to target the writer. The man walks out of the consulate via its back exit with an accomplice, then takes a taxi to Istanbul's famed Blue Mosque, where he goes to a public bathroom, changes back out of the clothes and leaves. He later eats dinner with his accomplice and goes back to a hotel, where footage shows him smiling and laughing. The Turkish president is expected to announce on Tuesday details of his country's investigation into the killing of Khashoggi, as scepticism intensified about Saudi Arabia's account that he died accidentally in its consulate in Istanbul. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will "go into detail" about a case that has shocked the world and raised suspicions that a Saudi hit squad planned Khashoggi's killing after he walked into the consulate on Oct. 2, and then attempted to cover it up.
