| [Hurriyet Daily News] The jacket wallahs responsible for the double blasts that killed 99 people in Ankara have been on a police wanted list for the past four months, daily Hurriyet has reported. The suicide bombers have been identified as Yunus Emre Alagöz and Ömer Deniz Dundar, both members of the "Dokumacilar" group based in the southeastern province of Adiyaman that has recruited jihadists for 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Alagöz, whose identity was confirmed both through a DNA test and images from security cameras, was the brother of Seyh Abdurrahman Alagöz, who detonated a suicide bomb on July 20 at the Amara Cultural Center in the southeastern district of Suruc, killing 33 others. According to sources, the police headquarters in Ankara received intelligence of a possible kaboom targeting the peace rally three days before the demonstration on Oct. 10. The intelligence included a list of 16 people with links to ISIL as prime suspects of the planned attack. Alagöz and Dundar were also on the list, which included photographs and identity card information regarding the 16 suspects. Additionally, the names of both attackers were in the National Judiciary Network System (UYAP) and the GBT, a law-enforcement database. Despite numerous security operations in Ankara to find the suspects, none of the 16 people were detained before the attacks. Meanwhile, ...back at the shattered spaceship, Fffflirgoll the Arcturan slithered stealthily toward the control room, where the humans had barricaded themselves... an investigation launched into footage from the attacks revealed how Alagöz and Dundar made their trip to Ankara and into the rally ground. The attackers set off from the southeastern province of Gaziantep with a private car and initially arrived at Ankara's Gölbasi district. From there, they took a taxi to a café in central Balgat district, 10 minutes from the Ankara train station, where they enjoyed breakfast and waited for the rally ground to become more crowded. Once the declared time of the rally had arrived, the attackers took another taxi to the station. They subsequently walked toward the front of the Ankara Train Station and detonated their bombs. Reports indicate both suicide bombers prepared for the attack as part of sleeper cells in the Dokumacilar group in Gaziantep. Orhan Gönder, the alleged bomber in the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) rally in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir on June 5, as well as the Suruc bomber were also involved in the sleeper cells. Three people with ties to the suicide bombers have been detained by police. One of the three allegedly own the private car that brought Alagöz and Dundar to Ankara, while the other two were their driver and guide. Two people believed to be involved in the attacks, alongside three people with ties to ISIL, have also been caught, raising the number of detained suspects to eight. Authorities in Ankara also removed the city's intelligence and security chiefs due to their failure to stop the attacks. So far, however, the country's interior and justice ministers have resolutely refused to resign over the affair despite pressure to do so. Instead, Interior Minister Selami Altinok denied that there were any security shortcomings following the blast. |
