I have reason to doubt Aljazeera's version of events inside the Saudi consulate. I also think the Turks have decided not to share or leak the video, for their own reasons. So many questions.
Note for example that these details completely contradict the earlier leaks from the Turks themselves. The Turks are changing their story.
More questions than answers.
Early Turkish leaks said he was interrogated, beaten and tortured for two hours and then killed. Now they're saying he was injected then cut up immediately and not interrogated. One of these two stories is false. The Turks changed their story.
My own humble take: The Turks seem to be walking back the "video" leak from before, because they don't want to reveal how they obtained it. And so the story details changed.
Note which parts of the story changed: What happened in the consulate. In both stories, Jamal is killed, dismembered, and the parts probably taken to the consul's residence.
So they seem to have changed/tweaked those parts of the story that involve possible surveillance/espionage by the Turks on the Saudi consulate. But kept all details that implicated the Saudi consulate.
Question: How are the Turks now saying they obtained the audio recordings they claim to have?
Are the Turks still sticking with the Apple Watch story, or are they walking it back?
Four days ago:
- Audio & video footage
- Questioned, tortured, murdered
Today:
- Audio only
- Not questioned, not tortured, only murdered
- Audio & video footage
- Questioned, tortured, murdered
Today:
- Audio only
- Not questioned, not tortured, only murdered
The Turks seem to be changing the story - but in a way that still implicates the Saudis; in fact, only way Saudis can "correct" parts of the story is to incriminate themselves more.
