Turkish media published images Wednesday of what it described as a 15-member “assassination squad,” allegedly sent to target Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. A black van was later seen traveling from the Saudi consulate — where he went missing after entering the building last Tuesday — to the consul’s home.
