Turkey jails seven more suspects in Istanbul airport attack
2016-07-12
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Turkish court has placed in durance vile
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
seven suspects pending trial on terrorism charges over last month’s triple suicide kaboom at Istanbul’s main airport, bringing the number in jug to 37, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The attack at Ataturk Airport killed 45 people and maimed hundreds, the deadliest in a series of bombings this year in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
The seven suspects were detained on charges of "membership of an armed terrorist group" and being accomplices to murder, Anadolu said. The private Dogan news agency said all seven were foreign nationals.

One government official has said the attackers were Russian, Uzbek and Kyrgyz nationals, and President Tayyip Erdogan has said ISIS forces of Evil from the former Soviet Union were behind the attack.

Media reports have said at least 11 of those detained were Russian.

The Istanbul bombing was followed by major attacks in Bangladesh, Iraq and Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, all apparently timed for the run-up to Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the Ramadan holy fasting month.

In the June 28 airport attack, three bombers opened fire to create panic outside the airport before two of them got inside and blew themselves up. The third murderous Moslem detonated his explosives outside at the entrance to the international arrivals terminal.

Moscow says thousands of Russian citizens and citizens of other former Soviet states have joined ISIS, travelling through Turkey to reach Syria. Russia fought two wars against Chechen separatists in the North Caucasus in the 1990s, and more recently has fought bully boy bandidos bully boys in Dagestan
...a formerly inoffensive Caucasus republic currently bedevilled by low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism, primarily due to its proximity to Chechnya. There are several dozen ethnic groups, most of which speak either Caucasian, Turkic, or Iranian languages. Largest among these ethnic groups are the Avar, Dargin, Kumyk, Lezgin, and Laks. While Russers form less than five percent of the population, Russian remains the primary official language and the lingua franca...
Last week a Turkish newspaper said authorities were seeking two suspected ISIS forces of Evil thought to be linked to the attack and believed to be in hiding near the border with Syria.
