Istanbul Governor: One Of Detainees Is Murderer Of Yasef Yahya
2004-03-16
One of the detainees arrested in investigation launched for suicide bomb attack on the Free and Accepted Masons Grand Lodge Association in Kartal district of Istanbul, confessed that he killed dentist Yasef Yahya, Istanbul Governor Muammer Guler said Tuesday.
Turkey, home of the world champion truncheon team.
In a news conference, Guler recalled that in an earlier press release, the Police Department said that one of the guns found in the Masonic Lodge in Kartal after the suicide attack was used in killing of a dentist named Yasef Yahya in Sisli district of Istanbul on August 21, 2003.
Had a bad tooth filling experience?
Guler said 18 people were arrested over the past week in raids of Istanbul homes. Eight of those arrested were still being interrogated, while another 10 were to be formally charged later Tuesday, Guler said.
Turkey is real good at rounding people up after the fact. Need to work on stopping attacks before they happen.
Guler said the detainees in their interrogation confessed that they killed Yasef Yahya, the Jewish origin dentist, on August 21, 2003.
Oh, he was a Jewish dentist! Well, that explains everything.
Guler said the detainees also confessed that they planned the armed and suicide bomb attacks on Free and Accepted Masons Grand Lodge Association in Kartal district of Istanbul on March 9, 2004. The detainees confessed that they got political and military training in camps abroad.
Oh, come on, give us a hint. Does the countries name begin with the letter "I"?
Guler said, ’’apart from the equipment obtained on the spot on March 9, new bombs ready to explode, were seized in police operations.’’
Caught them with the goods, have to watch and see what’s reported later today when these goons are charged in court.

#3  Perhaps the jailers could get 'em all in a closed room with the witlessness. It would make an excellent TV show.

#2  Y'know, Turkey has this large bridge across the Bosporous between Asian and European Turkey. I think it would be a good object lesson if Turkey hanged their terrorists on long ropes from this bridge, so they're in plain view of every ship going through the Bosporous. Just for fun, hang a pig between each pair of terrorists.

That's some truncheon work.
