Hezbollah Behind Synagogue Blasts
It has been revealed that Mesut Cabuk and Gokhan Elaltuntas, who staged the bomb attacks on two synagogues in Istanbul, and Azad Ekinci and Feridun Ugurlu, who provided logistic support to the attack, were members of terrorist Hezbollah organization. Turkish Hezbollah, unrelated to the other Hezbollah. Well, maybe related by marriage of second cousins. Officials of the Directorate General of Security who are experts in terrorism stress that the bomb attacks were similar to the attacks staged by Al Qaeda and search for connection between Hezbollah militants and Al Qaeda. So far it looks like the connection is training in Afghanistan or maybe Iran. Always possibility of funding as well. The boomers were Turkish, weâll know more after the Turkish police finish questioning their families. Security officials had seen traces of Hezbollah in former bomb attacks on synagogues. It was revealed that Hezbollah provided logistic support for the first attack on Neve Shalom Synagogue staged on September 6, 1986 which was also a Saturday. Huseyin Velioglu, the head of the terrorist Hezbollah organization, gave the instructions for the second attack on the synagogue staged on March 1, 1992. Hezbollah, booming Jews since "86".
