Turkey: Life Sentence for Anti-Jewish Terrorists | |
2005-10-15 | |
Three other suspects were given life sentences almost 10 years ago. Police captured Polat in 2003 and Askin was captured late last year, reportedly after returning from Afghanistan, private NTV television said. Another suspect, Ayhan Sagin, is still Kamhi, whose Profilo Holding conglomerate specializes in household utilities, had come under attack while he was driving to work in 1993. The attackers were planning to blow up his car with a shoulder-fired missile which did not fire. Bullets that they fired at his car missed him. Turkey's Jewish community numbers some 25,000. In 2003, Turkish Islamic terrorists linked to al-Qaida rammed truck bombs into two synagogues in Istanbul, killing dozens. In 1986, 22 people were killed when Arab gunmen attacked Istanbul's Neve Shalom synagogue. | |

#1 "If they serve the sentence it might help get Turkey into the EU." Quite the opposite actually. |
