| Further Turkey attacks ’imminent’ |
| 2003-11-25 |
| EFL More terror attacks on cities in Turkey may be "imminent", the British Government has warned. Firming up travel advice to the region, the Foreign Office said new information suggested Istanbul and Ankara could be likely targets. The Foreign Office has already warned against all non-essential travel to Turkey. But revising its guidance on Tuesday, it said: "We have information to suggest that further attacks may be imminent in Istanbul and Ankara. "We urge you to be vigilant in all parts of the country and especially in the vicinity of potential terrorist targets." It suggests sites symbolising the political, religious and economic values of western countries including the UK are particularly at risk, though Turkish buildings have also been targeted in the past. The BBC’s security correspondent Frank Gardner said the new warning indicated progress had been made in the hunt for the bombers. He told BBC News: "I think it’s fair to assume this is intelligence-led, that the joint investigation with the Turkish authorities into the bombings has yielded clues, that this is not the end of it, that this whole wave of bombings is not yet completed." |

| #8 Murat has been trolling on other Kurdish sites too and he is a very paranoid mo-fo, aren´t you Murat? This isn´t the place to give a presentation, but I am a KONGRA GEL supporter (we were known first as PKK and then KADEK). In the fight against islamic fundamentalism, we stand together. Even if I'm not VERY keen on you (i hope i'm not generalizing :P) right-wingers, it's all about pragmatism and survival. And we aren't that "red" as we used to be.. I mean, there IS A REASON to why the US doesn't attack PKK in south Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). There have been rumours of PKK and USA making contact for the first time just after 9/11. So I mean, if my leadership isn't anti-USA anymore, then why should I be?.. (Murat, are you around? I managed to catch you at last.. You nasty little rascal youuu..) |

| #7 Thanks Fred. I now believe after long investigation that Murat was being sarcastic. A difficult thing to do in a second language. The site does have an excellent analog clock. |

| #6 Berxwedan gave his website as dozame.org. He made two comments last week. Dozame's a Kurdish website. I guess Murat thought he was you with a false nose and glasses. |

| #4 Like it or not, Murat has to realize that we are all in this together on this Islamist terrorist issue. Just like Bush said that you are with us or you are against us, Binny has made it clear that you are with him for a new Islamic califate of his own flavor, or you are an infidel that will be killed. Take your choice. Blaming things on the PKK will not make Al and the Qaedas go away. |

| #3 RC I just don't know what to think since you've been exposed as this Berxwedan guy. BTW who is Berxwedan? Or what. |

| #2 The problem, Ptah, is that Murat's looking over his shoulder for the PKK, while the Istanbul bombings appear to be carried out by other groups. |

| #1 Given how many turks died as "collateral damage", I hope Murat's watching his back. Yeah, Yeah, he's a troll, but he's OUR troll... |
