2015-11-05
[Hurriyet] New details have emerged regarding Oct. 26 raids on cell houses belonging to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Diyarbakir, with officials revealing that the jihadist group planned to attack political party and newspaper offices in the country.

The revelations come amid the arrest of nine suspects for their alleged ties to ISIL in Gaziantep, which is southeast The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
like Diyarbakir.

Two coppers and seven ISIL forces of Evil were killed during a police raid on a cell house in Diyarbakir's Kayapinar district on Oct. 26.

During a subsequent search, police seized the outlines of three political parties' provincial and district buildings in Diyarbakir, while also confiscating the drawings of other addresses.

The ISIL members were thought to be preparing for attacks on the buildings.

Police said the members were staying at a cell house on 47th Street in Kayapinar, while they were planning attacks at a house on 53rd Street. Female ISIL members sometimes stood guard at the houses to avoid attracting any attention.

Nine ISIL suspects locked away
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact...
nine ISIL suspects, two of whom were tossed into the calaboose after throwing a hand grenade at a police car, were arrested in Gaziantep on Nov. 4.

The Gaziantep Governor's Office also said in a statement that the nine suspects were allegedly planning an attack on a political party's Istanbul headquarters before the Nov. 1 elections.

Two of the arrestees had previously thrown a hand grenade at a police vehicle after stepping out of their car, which was following them on Oct. 30, two days before the Nov. 1 parliamentary elections.

Upon a tip that a kaboom was going to take place, units from the Gaziantep anti-terror police branch closely monitored a vehicle with the two suspects inside. When the suspects realized they were being followed, they stopped the car, exited and threw a hand grenade at the police car, only for the explosive to fail to detonate. The suspects expeditiously departed at a goodly pace on foot but were caught after a chase.

The address of daily Cumhuriyet's Ankara bureau was found on one of the suspects. Two suicide kaboom vests, explosives and a hand grenade were also found inside the vehicle.

Following the two suspects' testimonies, police raided seven addresses in the province and detained seven suspects who were alleged to be linked to ISIL. In the raids, around nine grams of kaboom, four hand grenades, four guns, two shotguns, 135 crackers, three vehicles, around 10,000 Turkish Liras and 10,000 U.S. dollars, laptops, hard disks and cell phones were seized.

The governor's office said the two suspects had received orders from senior ISIL figures in Syria and were preparing to take a car they had obtained in Gaziantep to Istanbul in order to launch a suicide bomb and firearm attack on a political party's Istanbul branch.

It added that "an address belonging to the Ankara bureau of a nationwide newspaper and notes about the same newspaper's office in Istanbul's Sisli district were also found during the search."

Daily Cumhuriyet's Istanbul office is located in the Sisli district.
