Turkey al-Qaida Leader Said Killed in Iraq
2004-09-10
Turkish television broadcast a video Friday suggesting that the suspected leader of a Turkish al-Qaida cell blamed for suicide bombings in Istanbul has been killed in Iraq. The video showed a body of a bearded man with a bloody face said to be that of Habib Akdas. A man who claimed to be a Turkish militant was heard in the video saying that Akdas was killed in a bombing raid this week in Iraq's Al-Anbar region. Akdas is suspected of leading the al-Qaida cell that carried out suicide attacks in November against two synagogues, a London-based bank and the British Consulate in Istanbul that killed more than 60 people. Turkish authorities have said that Akdas is believed to have fled to Iraq around the time of the attacks. Turkish media has suggested that Akdas, believed to be in his 30s, may have been involved in the kidnapping of several Turkish workers in Iraq in recent months. Prosecutors say Akdas and two alleged members of his cell met on several occasions with Abu Hafs al-Masri, a former top lieutenant of Osama bin Laden. Al-Masri is believed to have arranged for Akdas and another militant to meet with bin Laden in 2001 in Afghanistan, where he received military and explosives training.

That's right GJ [Mossad], 3000 Americans died while 4000 Zionists were spared because they were warned not to come to work that day. BTW, when you called why did you hang up when I asked who you were? When you call someone names at least identify yourself.


'Mossad' [GJ], you did not "strike a nerve", neither your JDL with their Air Farce nor your [censored string] with their claims to the trademark could, how could you?
