Turkish police issue ISIL attack warning for May 19
|
[Hurriyet Daily News] Turkish police issued a confidential warning to provincial security directorates across the country’s 81 provinces, cautioning against imminent attacks by 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 (ISIS) during Youth and Sports Day celebrations on May 19, security sources have stated.
Police reportedly sent a "confidential" document to provincial security directorates requesting additional security measures against possible ISIS attacks that are said to be planned against security authorities on May 19.
The document underlined that ISIS perceives Turkish soldiers and police as "infidels" and informs its Lions of Islam that it is "permissible" to engage or kill them.
The department said stricter security measures should be adopted, especially to protect strategic public buildings as well as bases and checkpoints of the military or the police.
The report followed a May 16 story in daily Haberturk that Turkish intelligence units revealed the possibility of an ISIS attack on Ankara during celebrations to mark Youth and Sports Day.
Accordingly, the National Intelligence Organization (MIT) warned the authorities that 10 ISIS Lions of Islam had crossed into the country through the southeastern province of Gaziantep and planned 10 separate attacks in metropolitan areas, especially in the capital Ankara.
It also added that that the jihadist group had planned attacks at the Anitkabir mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, on May 19, in addition to a military compound in the Cebeci neighborhood and the U.S. Embassy in Ankara.
However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
the Turkish General Staff has refuted claims circulating on social media that Anitkabir would be closed to public on Youth and Sports Day due to the ISIS threat.
The mausoleum will be open between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., the General Staff said in a note issued on its website, detailing the events scheduled to take place at Anitkabir during the celebrations.
The outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was also alleged to be planning an attack on May 19. A total of 722 kilograms of explosives were seized in the southeastern province of Siirt, allegedly planned to be detonated during the May 19 celebrations.
