Report: IS Suspect Commits Suicide in Turkish Jail
[AnNahar] A Syrian national who was tossed in the clinkDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on suspicion of belonging to 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.... group has did away with himself in a Turkish prison, local media reported on Wednesday. Nedim Bellus, 35, was detained by Turkish police in an operation last week on suspicion of being an IS member and imprisoned in Iskendurun, a town in Hatay province near the Syrian border, the private Dogan news agency reported. Authorities found his body hanging above his bed, Dogan said, adding that a probe into his death had been launched. ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has long been under pressure to do more to stem the flow of jihadists going to war-torn Syria to join IS -- and to stop them from coming back. The government says it has tightened border security while urging the West to do more to prevent European jihadists from leaving for Turkey in the first place as well as sharing intelligence more widely. A member of U.S.-led coalition fighting IS, Turkey has also been hit by attacks blamed on jihadists, including two deadly suicide kabooms in Istanbul that targeted foreign tourists. In the last few weeks, IS has repeatedly fired rockets on the Turkish town of Kilis on the Syrian border, prompting the Turkish army to respond with artillery fire.
