If so, then as more than one member is alluding to here, wtf were the Turks doing while this was happening.
The 7 minute window sounds a lot like a Turk shoulder shrug to me.
Cheers, Doc
It's a consulate, so it's sovereign territory, they can't violate it. Even if the wanted to they could not because the whole drama was over within 7 minutes. There is also the possibility the Turks rather wanted to use it to score some points against Saudi or to get some leverage in trade deals, in Syria or any other kind of leverage they thought was beneficial for their country. I personally think the most likely cause is they did not raid the consulate because of it's sovereignty and shortage of time to do it.
