Rockets Fired Near Turkish Resort
[AnNahar] Assailants on Friday fired at least two rockets near the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, striking a depot used by a fishing company, news reports said. No one was hurt in the attack.Dogan news agency said the rockets were fired from a mountainous area near a highway linking Antalya and the town of Kemer. The target of the attack may have been tanker truck carrying fuel, the agency said. Several ambulances and fire-fighting trucks were sent to the scene, some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Antalya, Dogan reported. The motive of the attack in an area that is a major tourist destination was not known. The Antalya governor's office confirmed that an kaboom had occurred in the area and said an investigation was launched. ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has been rocked by a spate of deadly attacks by 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 forces of Evil or Kurdish rebels. The country is still reeling from a failed military coup in July, blamed on the followers of U.S.-based Moslem holy man Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... Earlier reports said the target may have been a tanker ship moored at sea. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-10-15 |
