Turkey policeman stabbed to death by suspected ISIS operative
2017-08-15
[Ynet] An officer was stabbed to death near a cop shoppe in Istanbul on Sunday by a suspected member of the ISIS group, Ottoman Turkish media said.

The attacker, who was suspected of preparing to carry out a suicide kaboom, was rubbed out after killing the policeman, the pro-government Anadolu news agency reported.

The private Dogan news service said the assailant had already been tossed in the clink
Please don't kill me!
and was being transported to a cop shoppe when the stabbing occurred at around 11 p.m. (2000 GMT).

The officer died from his wounds after leaving the scene in an ambulance, Dogan said.

It was not immediately clear how the man managed to keep a knife while being taken into custody.
Another Ynet article adds:
Istanbul's police chief says an 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Death Eater who stabbed a police officer to death while in jug was an "internationally wanted terrorist."

Mustafa Caliskan said Monday the man--who was shot and killed by other officers after the attack--was planning a major assault, which his detention allegedly thwarted. Caliskan was speaking at a memorial for the 24-year-old slain officer.
