Middle East A: Turkish recordings destroy the Saudi novel

The Turkish authorities have a full record of incoming and outgoing calls from the Saudi consulate in Istanbul over a week before and after the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and will use them to destroy the latest Saudi official, the Middle East A website reported.

These recordings gave Ankara a detailed picture of the incident, including what teams and missions from Saudi Arabia did.

According to a high-ranking Turkish source, the content of the recordings will tighten the screws on a Saudi official who sought to defy Khashoggi's death scandal. Turkey will seek to leak the content of these recordings to the media, as it has done since the beginning of investigations into Khashoggi's death.

The contacts intercepted by the Turkish intelligence service since Khashoggi first entered his consulate in Istanbul on 28 September to obtain the required papers to remarry.

The source said Khashoggi, who was asked to return to the consulate four days later, began preparing for him as soon as he left the building.

"We know what happened at the consulate from the day Jamal entered on 28 September, three days after his death on October 2," the Turkish source told Middle East A.

"We know when the Saudi teams arrived, what they discussed with the Consul General, how they prepared themselves, how they were divided into groups, and what the mission of each group was."

The source said the main talks were those between Consul General Mohammed Al-Otaibi and Saudi security attaché Ahmad Abdullah Al-Muzaini.

It is not known if al-Muzaini is one of the 21 suspects and detainees in Saudi Arabia, while the Turkish newspaper Sabah has described al-Muzaini as the mastermind of the crime.

On the day Khashoggi was assassinated (October 2), 19 singers were interviewed by Saudi Arabia's Maher Abdul Aziz, four of whom were with Royal Court Advisor Saud al-Qahtani who ran the operation from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's office.

According to the Turkish source, Ahmad Asiri, deputy director general of intelligence, approved the operation, but what was happening was under the follow-up Qahtani.

But the source of the confusion for the Turkish source is the knowledge of the US intelligence in a telephone conversation by the singer towards Riyadh, where the leader of the team said to the person who was talking after the death of Khashoggi, "Tell your boss."

These words, apparently accompanied by "Mission Impossible", were conveyed to the New York Times by US intelligence officials. According to the Turkish source, the experience of the Americans and their espionage technology allowed them to reveal more contacts between Turkey And Saudi Arabia.

When CIA chief Gina Haskel visited Turkey on October 23 for consultations on the Khashoggi case, she was accompanied by a team of 35 people, including decoding experts, linguists and people familiar with the Saudi dialect, and others could improve the quality of recordings, according to the source Himself.

Turkish intelligence officers were surprised when their American counterparts revealed the president's conversation after missing out on communications. But according to the source, he told the American Turks that it was almost certain that al-Qahtani was talking to the singer.

The Middle East said the Turks were listening to the recordings again to discover what they had missed.
