Turkey: Khashoggis dismembered body possibly carried through Istanbuls airport
HALIFAX Turkeys Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said Saturday that the team sent to kill Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi may have carried his dismembered body parts through Istanbuls international airport.
At the Halifax International Security Forum, an annual gathering of leading defense officials from around the world, Akar said it was possible that 18 men not 15, as originally assumed carried out the operation. They could get away with smuggling parts of the Washington Post columnists body through the airport because as diplomats they wouldnt be searched by security, the minister noted.

(14,250 posts)The torso was too big, and arms and legs don't add anything. Head, hands, other tender bits are the trophy to take home., Everything else got the breaking bad long soak.

(2,857 posts)That torso could have been carved up like last night's pizza and put in 15 zip lock bags. Drain the liquid outand good to go.

(14,250 posts)It's a lot of gore once you gut it. Gallons of gooey organs. It would just be easier to keep the trophy pieces and get "rid" of the rest.
Not saying you are wrong. Just a LOT of work, and a lot of "stuff", to package in waterproof refrigerated coolers and transport. And to what end?
Heck, even some trophy hunters will take the head and leave the rest on the ground. Illegal as hell, but they don't care, they just want the head for the wall.
Just a thunk.
