Seven dead in Turkish explosion |
2006-09-13 |
![]() The cause of the explosion which occurred near a park in the city of Diyarbakir, the Kurdish capital of the southeast, was not immediately known. An official from the local governor's office said the authorities were investigating the possibility that it could have been a bomb left in a package. Turkey has been plagued by a spate of bombings in recent weeks, which have killed a total of 12 people and wounded dozens, including 10 British tourists. The Kurdistan Liberation Hawks (TAK), the rebel group which claimed the previous attacks in late August, has threatened to turn Turkey into "hell". |

#3 It looks like Türk Intikam Tugayı (Turkish Revenge Brigade) has claimed this attack. They are part of the MHP/Gray Wolf/Gladio Gang that engineered the 1980 coup with the CIA. They were involved in similar murderous activity in Turkish-occupied Cyprus, and they were responsible for the attempted assassination of Akin Birdal (head of the Turkish Human Rights Association--IHD). More recently, too, they have been sending death threats to Kurdish politicians and members of IHD. |
