Two days ago, Turkish sources revealed that Saudi Arabia dispatched a "clean up" team to Istanbul to cover up evidence of Jamal's murder. One of the members of this team were named as "chemist" Ahmed Abdulaziz Al Janoubi. Here's some #OSINT information about him.
On the 1st of October 2018 (one day before Jamal's murder), the Saudi forensics directorate posted about an event celebrating recent promotions within the department of forensics. They tweeted a thread with names & photos:
"Ahmad Abdulaziz Al Janoubi" is named as one of those recent promotions. He's seen in the picture here (left) and his name is listed. He's described in Arabic as "عميد" (corresponding to a Brigadier-General).
A really juicy detail: One of the men pictured in this celebration is none other than head of forensics (and man who purportedly dismembered Jamal's body), Salah Al Tubaigi. Click through, third pic, top right, the one on the left.
It's not clear *when* the actual event took place, but it seems to be recent, probably a day or two before October 1st (when the tweets/photos were posted).
I've taken screen shots of the thread (in case they delete it) - but I urge others to also take their own copies of it.
Bumping this thread because it doesn't seem to have received enough attention. Please retweet so others can do more digging, and so the linked threads get enough attention before they're deleted.
Update: Another mention of Al-Janoubi spotted in a 2016 news story on Al-Riyadh newspaper. In this article he's named as "head of forensic chemistry". Article has pictures but doesn't look like he's in them. alriyadh.com/1129768
So far, what we know about him is:
- He's a ranked officer
- He's a chemistry specialist
- He received a promotion shortly before Jamal's murder
- He's connected to Al-Tubaigi (head of forensics who purportedly severed Jamal's body)
- He's a ranked officer
