| [Hurriyet Daily News] The two suspects over the deadly Oct. 10 suicide kabooms in Ankara had previously been probed by Turkish prosecutors for alleged links to al-Qaeda, but the investigation was closed down, news website Radikal has reported. Ömer Deniz Dundar and his twin brother Mahmut Gazi Dundar were reportedly probed last year on charges of having links to al-Qaeda, but the investigation launched by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in the southeastern province of Adiyaman was closed. The probe was halted despite the testimony of Mehmet Dundar, the father of the twins, that they had gone to Syria to join 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadists. The father said on Sept. 30, 2013 in his testimony that his sons had gone to Syria to join jihadists before coming back to Adiyaman. After staying for two months in Adiyaman, the two then returned to Syria at the same time as the Adiyaman Chief Public Prosecutor's Office started the investigation into 19 suspects - including the two Ankara bombing suspects and Seyh Abdurrahman Alagöz, the suspect implicated in the Suruc bombing - on charges of having links to al-Qaeda. Alagöz's last name was stated as "Dundar" in the indictment. The indictment stated also that the two Ankara bombing suspects had a phone conversation with Salih Kucuktas, one of the 19 suspects, on Dec. 3, 2013, which suggested that the Dundar brothers had been to Syria on multiple occasions. The deadly Ankara blasts killed at least 100 civilians and maimed hundreds of others on Oct. 10 ahead of a peace-themed demonstration at the heart of the Turkish capital. The town of Adiyaman has become notorious in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... as a site of radicalism among poor youths. Last year, the Adiyaman Chief Public Prosecutor's Office filed a case against three people - Mehmet Isbar, Salih Kucuktas and Mustafa Dokumaci - on charges of having links to al-Qaeda. The case is still ongoing. Dokumaci was accused of handling recruiting activities for a holy warrior camp called "Dokumacis" in Adiyaman, which was later revealed to have links to ISIL. Isbar, Kucuktas and Dokumaci were reported to be tried without arrest, but the investigation launched in the same case against the 19, including Dundar brothers and the Suruc bombing suspect, was later closed without coming to trial. Seyh Abdurrahman Alagöz was implicated in the deadly Suruc bombing that killed dozens and maimed more than 100 in Turkey's southeastern province of Sanliurfa in late July. At least 16 other suspects, including Kasim Dere, Mehmet Isik, Mehmet Mustafa Cevik, Yakup Aktulum and Ridvan Yaman - listed in the roster of wanted suspects prepared by the national police force and the National Intelligence Agency (MIT) - were also cleared in the investigation into the "Dokumacis." |
