#1 Update: Neve Shalom's security cameras caught one of the attackers moments before the blast, he said. "He is in the footage, although it is not clear. We are trying to establish their identities... It is also not clear whether they were Turkish citizens or foreigners." The Turkish authorities have also said that closed-circuit television at each synagogue filmed the licence plates of both vehicles. Their owners have been traced and are being questioned, although they have denied any involvement in the attacks.

Better have filed that stolen vehicle report well before the blast, guys.

#2 I am really surprised that this hasn't happened sooner. Turkey beside being part of NATO and (notwithstanding its new passive Islamist government)a stalwart military partner of US, is also Israel's best friend next to us. In Israel, the new terminal at Ben-Gurion was built
by a JV of Israeli-Turkish contractors. Since the Paleostinians are restricted from working freely in Israel since Infitada a lot of the skilled construction and other people are from Turkey. This could be another "backlash" episode for AQ. Like Texas, I wouldn't want to mess with Turkey!
