Syria Has Repatriated 22 Suspects In Istanbul Bombings | |
2003-12-01 | |
Update from Turkish Press with names: The Gendarme Forces Command has stated, ’’Hilmi Tugluoglu, who is believed to have linked to Azad Ekinci, a key suspect in Istanbul bombings, his wife and 20 other suspects were handed over by Syria to Turkey.’’ Releasing a statement late on Sunday, the Gendarme Forces Command noted, ’’the Directorate General of Security informed our command that some people who have been allegedly involved in bombings on Jewish and British targets in Istanbul on November 15 and 20, 2003 in which 57 people were killed and 712 others were wounded, fled Turkey following the suicide attacks.’’
The Turkish Gendarme has been working overtime. The statement added that the suspects had been interrogated at the Provincial Gendarme Command in southern province of Hatay. Sounds painful. Earlier, Ekinci was named as a key accomplice in the bombings. He is believed to have provided the pickup trucks containing the bombs which were used in suicide attacks on Istanbul’s two main synagogues. Still waiting for a on the scene report from Murat. | |

#1 Kind of blows the concept of believable deniability when the armed border with Kurdish Iraq leaves only the Syrian border as a refuge. |
