anniversary memorial. one year ago at this exact moment 1 14 pm on a tuesday afternoon jamal khashoggi journalist father fiance walked into the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul to collect papers for his upcoming marriage he never walked out hello i'm come out santa maria here in istanbul as we examine the murder of jamal khashoggi the conspiracy the lies and the injustice.

whatever the seconds it will forever be linked with this city the day that a journalist was silenced in a way few of us could have ever imagined and spunked outrage on an international scale we are on air for at least the next hour speaking to those closest to show g. to those close to the investigation into his death and to our own correspondents in and around includes. he is outside the saudi consulate were a vigil is being held right now there is andrew symonds who is at the turkish prosecutor's office where the murder file still sits and with me here in our studio correspondent see him closely are you who has been reporting on this story since day one and that is where we are going to start yes there is still crucial pieces of information missing but we also do know a lot about what happened inside the consulate and in the hours before and after so

let's begin with this taking us back to october the 2nd 2018 this is how. they began the saudi journalists had just landed from london in the early hours of october the 2nd when his turkish fiance met him at their newly bought apartment it was supposed to be a day like any other. 12 42 pm the couple is seen leaving their compound it's less than an hour before she was last seen alive these images captured by a security camera show what would be some of their last moments together they'd met in may 2018 and were in the middle of wedding plans but 1st show amount needed saudi government documents to prove he wasn't already married jamal and had these or were supposed to live here he had recently purchased an apartment on the 2nd

floor of this building this compound in istanbul's top cop a neighborhood is 16 kilometers from the saudi consulate a 30 minute drive the saudi journalist was hoping for a new beginning in turkey. jamal planned to divide his time between turkey and the united states where he had been living and self-imposed exile since 2017. as a critic of the saudi government and crown prince muhammad bin salmen who was seen as the effective ruler of the kingdom rather than his aging father hirsch actually always feared for his safety which is why he felt it was risky to visit his country's consulate the couple had little choice the marriage office required those documents the teacher said he feared arrest as had happened to many other saudi journalists but at the same time he didn't believe that anything bad could happen in a diplomatic mission or on turkish soil. to make them why we were worried when we 1st

went on september 28th they didn't let me in since i'm not a saudi citizen or his wife so i waited for him outside he gave me his phones as it was our 1st wisit i was watching the entrance exit and the cars he came out 11 45 am after about spending 45 minutes inside he said they received him very well they talked and they offered him tea and coffee he left the consulate very happy so he felt relieved and didn't hesitate going there again the warm reception during the unannounced visit was nothing more than an attempt to lure jamal back he was told to return on october the 2nd their trust was misplaced. we were having breakfast at one of the cafe's near our compound he called the authorities at the saudi consulate they told him they were expecting him at 1 o'clock around 1225 we got into

a taxi to head to the consulate. partition says jim i wasn't particularly concerned on the way because of the friendly reception he had received days earlier in fact he was more worried about returning some of the appliances bought for their future home both were making plans for the rest of the day little did they know what awaited them planning for she's murder had begun minutes after he 1st visited the diplomatic mission 3 days earlier. on october the 2nd inside the consulate the saudi hit squad that arrived from the kingdom in the early hours of that morning were waiting audio recordings obtained by the turkish intelligence and later released to the media gave a detailed account of the preparations and the conversation between a well known saudi forensics doctor so law has to beg and saudi agents matter more to at one o 7 pm just minutes before some al arrived what did be possible to put the

trunk in a bag no it is too heavy and very tall to joints will be separated it is not a problem it is the 1st time i am cutting on the ground if we take plastic bags and we cut it into pieces it will be finished we will drop them individually actually i have always worked in cadavers i know how to cut them very well i have never worked with a warm body though but i will manage easily and normally put on your phones and listen to music when i got cadavers after i dismember it you will rub the parts into plastic bags and put them in suitcases and take them out as the animal to be separate fires to arrive and an identified member of the hit squad is then heard saying he is here at one of 14 pm. walks through the consulate gates it was an image that would be seen around the world it became the last of. a life at around 4 pm had he she started

to worry the consulate's closing time had passed 30 minutes before of course for the cops and of course the minute i went to the gate of the consulate and told a turkish employee that jamal had gone in but didn't come out i was worried he was going to tell me something bad that person told me that everyone left and no one was inside i thought this person perhaps didn't know or wasn't aware so i called the consulate saying that i was waiting outside the gate. the person on the phone asked where i was and after i told him at the main gate we didn't 3 minutes this person came out and told me there was no one inside they told me i was wrong but everyone left for the day and there was no point waiting. but who was the only witness to her partner's disappearance state she called the scene after i an old friend of her mouth and a high ranking official in turkey's ruling ak party. sorry

she called me at exactly 4 41 pm which was 3 hours and 25 minutes after he went inside i called the saudi ambassador in ankara he said that's awkward i will call the consulate to see what's happened and i will call you back so he never called me back i called again and he didn't pick up my call so i sent a text message but he didn't reply i realized it was beyond his power force and i want to. she was already dead murdered by agents of his country's government at 3 o 7 pm surveillance video shows vehicles with diplomatic license plates leaving the consulate it is believed the journalists body parts were in suitcases and taken to the consul general's residence 200 meters away it's not known how they disposed of the remains so in the international media converged outside the saudi consulate after word spread that she went missing days passed then the 59 year old never

walked out of that building the case became an international incident at 1st saudi officials insisted she. left the building days later the saudi consul general opened closet and electrical panels in front of the cameras to prove how shocked she was not in sight his actions through global outreach. i but i could i would like to confirm that the citizen jamal is not at the consulate nor in the kingdom of saudi arabia and the consulate and the embassy are working to search for him and we are worried about his case was one of them. then that also we are slowly getting in a war in iraq with saudi officials continued to give conflicting explanations until they were forced to acknowledge the murder weeks later audio recordings provided details of jamal's final moments his murder and dismemberment of his body he was

politely taken to the consul general this office on the 2nd floor where his killers were waiting for him more trip a senior saudi intelligence officer told him he must return to riyadh please sit we have to take you back there is an order from enterable you enter paul demanded you will be returned we are here to take you there are no lawsuits against me my fiance is waiting outside for me what to ask me to send a message to his son telling him not to worry if he is not heard from what should i say see you soon all right nothing how can this happen in an embassy righted mr drama how do you up help us so we can help you because in the end we'll take you to saudi arabia and if you don't help us you know what will happen in the end at 133 pm i noticed a towel when you drug me we will put you to sleep

a plastic bag was then put over his head then there were sounds of struggling as well as commands keep pushing don't remove your hand. last words were a plea to his killers not to cover his mouse i have asked him or do not do it i'll suffocate. at 1 39 pm the sound of what turkish authorities have said is a chainsaw being used to dismember the body of. could be heard the operation had lasted less than half an hour a journalist father fiance had been murdered an international scandal was just beginning sen al jazeera istanbul so yes joining us here in our studio is simple so you are istanbul correspondent so it's a year to the moment effectively. at what point on either of these stay october 2nd

or 3rd did you find out the news and then begin reporting on it well come out actually on october the 2nd in late afternoon everybody heard about i mean the officials heard about your mouth to shoot you not getting out of the consulate building because. forms of turkish officials we all know the story and we watched and. news package but you know that when somebody is missing there's always the hope that 1st there was a hole maybe he was taken out to somewhere else for interrogation or something else but he could have. he could see him from somewhere and so on the 2nd day it was obvious that something was exactly going wrong and everybody everybody got serious but since that since the very for small meant jamal to being good journalists and x. and living in this situation was the news line so and so it just to be clear you

heard about his disappear i mean you're saying the officials got the news when you and other media are actually given most of us heard it in the later in the emmy. and we started doing our lives as owners who are english the 2nd day early morning from in front of the consulate there were some very few are big media who reported at night on the very 1st day which is october the 2nd but jamal being a journalist and not getting out of that consulate was a big news of mourning because mohamed bin soundman the crown prince already took some other businessmen that he detained them in a 5 star hotel in riyadh for it didn't bring it is sound but a journalist experiencing such a situation it was the new assignment on the very 2nd day in the hopes were gone actually and remember we talked about that yesterday as well with you on the 2nd

day we heard from some of his. friend that he was killed already and his body parts were cut into pieces and taken out from the consulate so when i heard that i said this is going to be a very big. story and this is going to be a very big case that all human rights organizations and journalists will be chasing after and what do you remember of that day we turned as we remember the big stories which which we were what do you remember you started doing the live reports and then you start feeling ok this is this is not right this is not normal this is something different. that one of the things that i can share is that when i went in front of the consulate building on october 3rd it early morning i met the teacher how did you was there. she was she was like she was like a soldier waiting on duty in front of the consulate but she was also trying to help the press as well she was trying to inform them as well and i saw her face and the

there was something like a hole in her face because at that time we knew that tomorrow you went inside but no one saw them coming out so as i said there was a kind of hope until we heard about some rumors aback at the time at 1st the story was a conspiracist story of journalists being kidnapped or etc but then when everything came up that ugly truth came up that he was killed in that khan's laid the story became like a thriller couldn't quite believe it could very. soon and thank you for now we're going to talk to cinema again a little bit later on when we're joined by another guest but cinnamon did refer to her tutoring goes there a little bit earlier of course jamal's fiance this story was just supposed to be about paperwork for the 2 getting the paperwork they needed for their wedding. so we've got this report now. excuse me about well actually we've got the interview

we've got an interview with her teaching as i spoke to relive a bit earlier and just got her as i've done with the same to explain how the day began for. this time last year i was very excited jamal and i were going to apply for the marriage process jamal was about to come back from a couple of days abroad i had done some shopping for our house it was a very exciting process things were moving so fast that we were about to complete all the procedures for the marriage because the circumstances were right. jamal was willing to i was willing there were only minor procedures we had to complete and we were anxious about phase 2 when we woke up that morning there was no worry or bad feeling in my mind or heart this was not our 1st time there jamal was also very comfortable we had not even talked about whether or not we should go to the consulate i just asked him who he would be going there with and he told me a friend he didn't give me the name at that moment i was

a bit worried thinking he would go alone i had classes so i canceled them and joined jamal because he had visited 4 days beforehand i think on the 28th of september what was the reception he got that day you went in and everything was ok yeah i thought. that was it happened a bit spontaneously because we 1st visited the turkish minister pelletier on the day jamal wanted to hear from doth or to some self exactly what happens when needed boys that jamal didn't want to go to the consulate himself for these papers he was trying to figure out if you could get the papers from somewhere else or if we could get married without the papers tomorrow absolutely did not want to go to the consulate to me disparity day told him the procedure was that he had to get the necessary papers either from saudi arabia or their consulate here and once he heard that jamal said let's try and then we went to the consulate together on the way jamal was very worried but of course i did not really grasp how deep his worries

were looking back his fears all make sense but on the day i could not guess what could happen he did that but i just asked him what are the what is worrying you so much and i said we didn't have to go he said we must for the papers i asked him what could be the worst thing that could happen he said he didn't want to see the bad face of saudi arabia but he said maybe they would take us passport from him or maybe detain him so i told him that since i was going there with him and we would be together such things would not happen for. he agreed maybe he got the strength from me or because he really wanted to get married he took the risk i don't know but after you came out of that visit he told me that there was shock inside everyone was very surprised to see him and they offered him coffee and tea they spent 45 minutes talking he left the consulate very relaxed and happy after that visit their day told him he would need to come back because it would take some time

for the papers to be prepared jamal himself told them that he had a short trip that he was going to make abroad and come back he gave that information to them himself and the rest we all know so tell me then about this past year for you obviously it has brought you a lot of support not just in turkey but international support but i also wonder about the negative effect on you has have there been threats made against you has your life become more difficult in the past year even with all that support off the wall for the phone number you mentioned that i got international support to be frank there was only international media support international media really stood behind this and the world learned of jamal and how he was a very good journalist but there was no other office to international support whatsoever neither from europe the european union countries nor america there was no government level support if you're talking about media sports yes but turkey in that sense was left alone politically and legally the process continued then only

because of turkey's efforts and risk all the marks report and efforts have we got to where we are now that on a personal level what happened is something that nobody can even imagine but you asked me how that last day started for me well this is something that nobody can even think about or explain with words that there is 180 degree change in my life last year on the day i was a woman who nobody knew about and who only wanted to get married to jamal now jamal is gone and with you here we are trying to figure out what happened to jamal. on a personal level i developed a social phobia about how people will react and how davil perceive me i have this fear of being in crowds i distanced myself from people i chose to be alone because of security reasons they gave me a bodyguard that changed my life so much. i'm normally a conservative person i'm not used to these things and nobody in my close circle is

used to these things that i never thought that my life would be like this but from the last year to where we are now i'm happy that this case is still being talked about and pushes it yes we've lost jamal but at least he's not forgotten the search for justice is still continuing my personal discomfort or the psychological suffering will get better i know even though i started to healing process late but again as i said i'm spiritually content in where i am today you said that turkey has been alone and it's always been speaking up about about jamal's death president of one wrote in the washington post just a few days ago about how he wants to push he wants there to be an international push that it is not in fact about a turkey saudi arabia bilateral arrangement or discussion he also said that he separates those who killed jamal from the leadership in saudi arabia. how do you feel when that do you do you separate them like that. jani i think what

i read mr president's op ed by self i believe it's a very strong article and it's a piece that summarizes the message that turkey wanted to give all the way along i'm at the same point in the past media asked me what i meant by saying saudi arabia should be held accountable in this case and i want to say here again when we are asking for justice to be done for jamal we are actually asking that the people who committed this crime be put on trial not our people of saudi arabia even though the people who committed this crime are from saudi arabia and they do not represent all the people of saudi arabia the whole country and we want these specific people to be put on trial and punished and them to be responsible for this murder this does not include all the people of saudi arabia and. we should keep those who are in power in saudi arabia and the people who committed the crime separate from why do i say that in my opinion even though there are some bad examples of press

freedom violations in the history of saudi arabia this specific cases are going to any press freedom my life. i might i think it's immoral to say that this is something that i was used to all the time that this is a matter of routine for saudi arabia in general this is not representative of all saudi arabia or all the people in charge and by asking the criminals to be punished and keeping those who rule saudi arabia separate is a delicate point that mr president emphasizes and i agree with a lawful saudi arabia is a very important country in islam worldwide and they are the rulers of the holy lands that all muslims have a huge respect and faith in fact and so i'm not comfortable about the feeling but also how do you wear a beard responsible of such terrible crime and i guess mr president wanted to underline that they are friends and i agree with them the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin salman has said in the last few days that while he didn't order the killing he says as the leader as a leader in saudi arabia he said i take full responsibility what does full

responsibility mean to you what does. full justice in the end mean to you john we took a piece of it this statement came at a very specific time i believe it's a statement that needs to be judged along with all the events from the very beginning if i were to comment on that one sentence today it is quite weird that he says he takes responsibility for the incident in general but he doesn't accept his direct responsibility i guess by taking responsibility in general he's trying to avoid his personal part in this this is a contradiction in this case we need to ask him if he's taking responsibility what are the details the details that the whole world is curious about why was just killed why was he killed in such an yway where is his body who gave the order for his team to come to turkey if the responsibility is on him then he needs to answer

these questions not the 5 people they put in jail he needs to answer these questions the teacher changes thank you so much for joining us we do appreciate it . how did it change is there in her own words as she said just a simple woman who wanted to marry the man she loved and instead became part of an international incident we're going to look at the other side of the corner and of course that is the man who carried out the attack because the plot against jamal khashoggi was put together very rapidly following his 1st visit to the consulate which happened on september the 28 but i mean on top of that really he had been on the saudi radar for a very long time and who simmons now has this in-depth look at the saudi hit squad and the conspiracy. one year on the green flag of saudi arabia still flies above its consulate in istanbul marking the scene of a crime that spreads shock waves across the world instilling fear into every

mindset critical of the regime no matter where the dissent might be. saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salah man confined himself to saying it happened on his watch yet investigations point to him as the man who sanctioned jamal khashoggi his murder. the murder was an intelligence operation metin is who's a former turkish intelligence officer has experience of spying and hit teams he had a posting in saudi arabia is the part of that in an operation like this to preparation phrases followed by confirmation and this comes from the very top authority there are also recordings and phone calls that can prove it. a former bodyguard to bin salmond and now a close aide mark abdel aziz treb was to be the leader on the ground. is an aggressive push a person who has very close ties with mohammad been someone above him in riyadh was

a tiny cured wiser to the crown prince the plot starts on september 28th at the saudi consulate after a surprise visit of how shocked this is a phone conversation from within the building now made abdullah al mazin e saudi intelligence chief in turkey is questioned by him a trip in riyadh and replies yes we were all shocked there's nothing official but we know he's on the wanted list he tells of a trip how shockey is due back on october the 2nd in the evening mohammed al otay be the saudi consul in turkey phones because a need telling him there's an urgent briefing in riyadh they told me they need an official working in protocol but the issue is top secret nobody should know. zany is the one who heads to riyadh returning in october the 1st he's seen here arriving at ataturk airport in his damn. fall out of shot are 2 assistants the main team arrive the next day in the early hours onto private jets who travels directing all movements checking in and out of hotels then laying in wait for her in the

consulate minutes after her show g. entered what happened can't be disputed he was suffocated and state pathologist out to big cut up his body later a van is driven to the nearby consular residence and what kind of man is co-author of a book diplomatic atrocity he says it's not surprising investigators are convinced his body parts are inside this van 5 bags are carried into the consul's residence. we don't have a clear idea what happened to body parts after entering the residence the. turkish investigators had to wait 15 days to get access they were blocked by diplomatic law and what was meant to be a saudi investigation in reality it was a clean up operation one theory being worked on was the body parts were destroyed here either by burning or dissolving them with acid and other chemicals another

theory relates to a gap in surveillance on the day of the murder investigators later discovered the travel had left aboard this 1st private jet diplomatic bags once gowned the plane wasn't searched some if not all of body parts could have been loaded out of view the plane took off at 5 pm less than 4 hours after the murder. it was only the 2nd private jet that was searched after turkish security services once alerted rushed to ataturk airport another theory written off by most investigators as an alternative plan lies here in the sprawling belgrade forest 40 kilometers from downtown istanbul 2 villas at another location the all over owned by a saudi businessman was searched whatever happened the saudi plan was to try to show had left the consulate alive here saudi general moustapha mohamad madani sets out after the murder wearing clothes deliberately walking around areas where he'd

be seen by c.c.t.v. and ending his walkabout by taking his fake beard off having already bungled the operation by changing back into his own clothes in a toilet at istanbul's blue mosque and strolling in front of the cameras. those c.c.t.v. images caught on so many cameras that it stumbles most important tourist attraction like all the others go to show what a flawed an operation it was but vesta gate is wanted to set about proving that the saudis by sending in an army general to act as a body double were planning a cover up of murder. what i don't know and may any attempt at a cover up continued with a changing saudi narrative watched by investigators and diplomats worldwide in london a former head of security at the u.k.'s counterterrorism unit isn't optimistic there's enough evidence that's a beautiful recall but. the government's the diplomacy means that that's

almost certainly never going to happen 12 months after hundreds of security cameras tracked movements intensive searching listening devices proving a murder the cia and the u.n. zoning quire is point to momma been solomon where her show just remains are left is undoubtedly a state secret in riyadh and a haze hangs over the full truth under symons al-jazeera has stumbled. so that's what they did but who were they who were these 15 men who carried out the order to kill jamal khashoggi and what's happened to them since if they like the o'brien to explain these are the 15 men linked to what the u.n. special investigators say is was a premeditated killing managed at high levels of the saudi government part of a hit tain u.s. intelligence reportedly dubbed the record intervention group say stopped 2 years

ago by the crown prince to silence his critics the cia has concluded that mohammed bin solomon himself ordered the team to kill her shuggie something saudi arabia strain us lee denies but there's no denying the 15 men all their superiors had close ties to the prince or others and power 7 were intelligence officers most of them high ranking several worked in the office of the crown prince for his personal security team or the saudi royal guard to their promotions to mohammed bin solomon. begot his for defending the prince's palace in jeddah from an attack. one of the intelligence offices in the stuff of mohamed el madani was seen by security cameras disguised with a b. id and wearing jamal khashoggi is clothes and an apparent attempt to fake his exit from the consulate and madonna later told a saudi court it was his duty to do it and this is dr mohammad to baby

a forensic doctor with saudi's anterior ministry an expert on autopsies and the men investigators say up body 2 of the 15 entered turkey on diplomatic passports. trip was a prominent aide to the crown prince photographed as part of mohamed bin solomon's entourage during major international trips trip is said to have led to the operation in turkey directed by his boss saudi khatami who reportedly supervised the killing via skype khatami was officially in charge of social media for the crown prince but the un investigators says there's credible evidence he personally directed a campaign targeting saudi activists and political opponents even arresting and torture and women who campaigned for the right to drive saudi arabia says khatami was late to set for his role and could show she's murda but in recent months they

are reports he's still working for the crown prince the deputy head of saudi intelligence ahmed l a siri was also fired he gave evidence to a saudi court that he had told the team to convince to return to the kingdom had never ordered the use of force the kingdom blames him for organizing the mission.
