Turkish authorities have released gruesome details of a killing that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said was a targeted hit. STRANGLEDAccording to Turkey's pro-government Sabah daily, Saudi Arabia sent an 11-member "cover-up team" to Istanbul on October 11, nine days after the Washington Post contributor vanished after entering the diplomatic compound to obtain paperwork for his marriage. Saudi Arabia finally allowed Turkish police to search the consulate for the first time on October 15. Saudi Attorney General Sheikh Saud al-Mojeb met with Turkish authorities last week in Istanbul but refused to share information from Riyadh's own investigation, according to Turkish officials.
