| No Evidence That Terrorist Ekinci Died In Suicide Attack In Iraq | |
| 2004-01-30 | |
| Istanbul Police Chief Celalettin Cerrah said on Thursday that there was no concrete evidence that Azad Ekinci, head of the formation of terrorist organization Al Qaida in Turkey who plotted four bomb attacks in Istanbul in November 2003, died in the suicide attack in Iraq. Cerrah told reporters that news that Ekinci staged the suicide attack on a police station in the west of Iraq on December 14, 2003 in which 18 people, including 16 policemen lost their lives, and died in that attack did not reflect the facts. ’’There is no concrete evidence that Ekinci died in this attack,’’ Cerrah said. It was a little too handy.
Which is 32 days after he was supposed to have "died". The same official stated that news that Ekinci died in the suicide attack in Iraq was published in two newspapers in Iraq. The news could be spread on purpose by the terrorist organization to enable Ekinci and other top members of the organization to move easily, the official noted. Which is why we shouldn’t believe any death reports without burying the body ourselves. Even then, sometimes you need to dig them up to make sure they are still there. The official said that Turkey was in contact with international intelligence units related with the suicide attack in Iraq. Related in which way? As a result of those contacts, Turkey learned that person who staged the mentioned suicide attack could not be identified, the official stated. "We have no idea whose nose that is." The official said that Turkey would definitely have information if Azad Ekinci staged that attack. Noting that Ekinci had not spoken to his family by phone for a long time, the same official said that it could be possible to learn Ekinci’s place in case he had called his family. Well, there goes that chance. Of course, sometimes these guys are that stupid so it doesn’t hurt to keep listening. | |
