#2 He does wish that his son was killed by merkins, that is the only chance he'll get money. More upset=more money.

#3 The victimâs father said that nobody has undertaken serious efforts to locate the perpetrators.

Sounds like a job for Hercule Poirot! Or maybe Inspector Clouseau!

#4 The elder Demir points out that he becomes even more upset when he hears claims that Americans killed his son. "I wish my son had been killed while serving for Turkish soldiers or by the Iraqis. Perhaps, we would be less upset then. But the claim that Americans killed him while he carried cargo for them makes me really upset."

So this guy is going to sue on the basis of "claims"? And furthermore, WHO are the ones making these claims?

Advice: Get some "proof", or your day in court is going to be an extremely short one.

#5 Contact me after November 2nd, I may have the time to do your case justice. Nothing upfront, 60% or whatever Cingold will take, whichever is better for me.

#6 It's a well known Islamic fact that the Americans are the ones shooting at delivery trucks. And some people claim Turkey is the sane Muslim country.

#7 The suit makes a lot of sense, regardless of who was at fault. It's not like suing the guerrillas will get the family any compensation. Looks like the Turks have learned about ambulance-chasing from reading headlines about America's tort cases.
