| [Hurriyet Daily News] At least 13 suspected 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.... of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) were detained in operations across ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Aug. 12. Police detained the suspects in coordinated dawn raids in the capital Ankara, Istanbul, the province of Hatay near the Syrian border, and the Central Anatolian province of Kirikkale, Anadolu Agency reported. Police are still hunting for another three suspected ISIL members. Twelve of the detained suspects were seized in Ankara, while one was detained in Hatay. The police are searching for the remaining suspects in Istanbul, Kirikkale and Ankara. The authorities had announced on Aug. 11 the arrest of 23 foreign nationals, including women and kiddies, seeking to cross into Syria to join ISIL via the southeastern border town of Kilis. The suspects were reportedly from China, Indonesia, Russia and Ukraine. Turkey is currently pressing a two-pronged "anti-terror" offensive against ISIL Death Eaters in Syria and outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Death Eaters in northern Iraq and the southeast, amid a wave of violence inside Turkey. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... on Aug. 12 said "effective operations" have been carried out against ISIL jihadists, although Ankara has so far concentrated the campaign mainly against the PKK. |
