| After the explosion in Ankara, Turkish law-enforcement bodies arrested a women kamikaze in Adana during intensified operations in the country, APA’s Turkey bureau reports. 11 kg 300 grams of A-4 explosive material, two hand grenades and some equipment for committing explosion was found in the woman’s bag who said “You poisoned Ojalan, therefore I wanted to kill you.” But investigation suspects that her target was the Baku-Tbilis-Ceyhan main oil pipeline or Botash Energy Company. The terrorist was detained while going to Ceyhan in a taxi. “She got into car with her bags. She told me to drive to Ceyhan. But she did not said where we had to go in Ceyhan,” taxi driver told the police. Police source says there can only be two targets for terrorists in Ceyhan– Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline and Botash company. “The police achieved to prevent a huge terrorist acts by detaining the living bomb,” the source said. Person named Adem Barik who sent this woman from Urfa region of Turkey to Adana, and provided her with explosive materials and equipment for committing terrorist act was also detained and taken to Adana. A-4 explosive material found in the bag of the woman terrorist-kamikaze was also used in the terrorist act committed in Ankara on Tuesday. |

| #3 A-4 seems to be a stepped down explosive, based on RDX : http://www.islandgroup.com/ExplosiveChemistry.html. |

| #2 Who or what is Ojalan, that she wants to avenge? I believe this may be just the turkish spelling of Abdullah Öcalan. Urfa is a city, with apparently a solid kurdish population; so, I'd say she's probably kurd. |

| #1 Who or what is Ojalan, that she wants to avenge? What background are these women terrorists coming from? Who's in the 'Urfa' region? Kurds? Where could the A-4 explosive be coming from? What is A-4? |
