| [Rudaw] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has detained 10 people suspected of being members of 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.... (ISIS) and recruiting new members for the group. According to Turkey's Anadolu Agency Turkish counter-terrorism police carried out an operation early on Monday against the suspects who they had under surveillance for some time. They were rounded up and incarcerated Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! Found in their possession were unlicensed guns and documents which may indict them. These arrests come a mere two days after another 23 individuals suspected of being members of the ISIS group, along with 21 children, were also detained when trying to cross from Syria into southeastern Turkey and one day after another two suspected ISIS members, along with two children, tried to cross the Syrian border into the Turkish province of Kilis. At least four terrorist attacks since last June were believed to be the work of either ISIS or their sympathizers. On June 2015 four members of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) were killed in the city of Diyarbakir. Over 30 primarily Kurdish activists in the Turkish-Syrian border-town of Suruc were blown up by a jacket wallah last July and last October over 100 people attending a HDP peace rally in Ankara were blown-up. An attack in the center of Turkey's capital which was the deadliest in the country's history. More recently ten tourists were slayed in a suicide kaboom in Istanbul. These acts have propelled Turkey to take action. And while it hasn't completely closed off its border with Syria it has certainly been more vigorously clamping down on ISIS. |
