Recently, the Saudi ambassador in Turkey acknowledged that before the Unite States launched its airstrikes against the so-called Islamic state in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Saudi embassy in Ankara provided the Saudi nationals who previously joined ISIL ranks and later defected and wished to return to home with passports and identification documents.
The Saudi embassy also admitted that it housed many repentant former jihadists inside the Saudi compound in Istanbul or rented safe houses for them in downtown Istanbul.
As a matter of fact, it seems not so much surprising to hear that a country provides consular services to its nationals who live abroad but this might be a bit tricky in the Saudi case.
Many political experts believe that Saudi Arabia in an egregious complicity with Jihadists and with the connivance of the U.S. paved the way for brutal fanatic militants to travel and wreak havoc on Syria .
White House knew since the 2013 summer, when Syrian army captured the Islamist rebels’ strategic stronghold of Al-Qusayr near the border with Lebanon that the tide of war is turned against their mercenaries, hence CIA let the Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists in Iraq pass into neighboring Syria and establish their diabolical entity to weaken Syrian Army’s achievements.

I think we have had people on the “Saudi Payroll” in the white house since 1989 starting with Bush Sr.
The oil embargoes of the 1970’s were acts of war by the Saudi’s.

The funding of Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups involved in the killing of US citizens is an act of war by the Saudis.

The 9/11 terrorists were Saudis.
Despite all of the above, US administrations from Nixon to Obama have excused, condoned, and often facilitated these activities.
You don’t say..
While the Saudis can get away with claiming the ISIL jihadists it harbored in Turkey were “former” ISIL terrorists who wanted to go home, more telling in my view, as far as facts, was the Saudis acting as the go-between, between ISIL and Iraqi-Kurdistan, implying Saudi contacts inside ISIL are intimate.
