| Investigation into Islamabad Synagogues bombing |
| 2003-11-16 |
| EFL Israeli and Turkish investigators searched the wreckage of two bombed synagogues for clues Sunday, as rescuers found three more bodies to raise the death toll to 23 in the twin attacks. More than 300 others were injured. Private Turkish NTV said Turkish intelligence officials were questioning three people, including two women, detained in the bombings, you can be sure these are not the only people being questioned; Turkish intell is known for their ’inquiries’ and they take terrorism very seriously, arguably more so than Britain, France or maybe even the US -which went off minutes apart Saturday in synagogues three miles from each other. The head of Istanbul’s health department, Erman Tuncer, said three more bodies were found, bringing the number of dead to 23. Police put the number of wounded at 303. Most of the victims were Muslim passers-by. Several security officials were killed also I hear, this site had extensive policing and private contractor security but the bombs were very powerful and the car carrying the bomb was parked outside the zone of inspection. At least six Jews were confirmed dead in the attacks and some 80 others were injured... |

| #1 CNN reports that Turkey's detained 3 or 4 in connection with the blasts - I wouldn't want to be one of those guys - the Turks are reknown for their truncheons and moustachios. JPost sez Mossad agents are there as well to help....heh heh |
