| Turkish police confirm that two Islamic militants who carried out Tuesday night’s suicide bomb attack on a Masonic lodge were trained overseas. In Iran, perhaps? Or the Pankisi Gorge? But they’re not confirming reports they got their training at al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan. News reports say the two were kicked out of the former Soviet republic of Georgia in 1998 after they tried to sneak into Chechnya. Two years later, they were reportedly arrested in Turkey for raising money for Chechen rebels. Interesting. Was he part of Lomali’s gang back in Turkey? Police have reportedly determined that the attackers learned how to make bombs on the Internet, but experts say they weren’t very good at it. Ten of their 14 bombs were duds.
