| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two male jacket wallahs carried out the devastating twin bombings this weekend in Ankara as the toll rose to 97 dead. It said that the attack, the deadliest in the history of modern ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , had claimed the lives of 97 people, raising slightly the previous toll of 95. At least 246 people were also maimed, dozens of whom were hospitalized in intensive care, according to Davutoglu's office. Of those killed 92 have been identified and work is continuing to identify the five others, it added. The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has claimed the toll is far higher at 128 but this has not been confirmed by the authorities. Footage screened by broadcaster CNN Turk showed a line of young men and women holding hands and dancing, and then flinching as a large kaboom flashed behind them, engulfing people carrying HDP and leftist party banners. "Like other terror attacks, the one at the Ankara train station targets our unity, togetherness, brotherhood and future," said Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... , who has vowed to crush a Kurdish murderous Moslem insurgency since the collapse of a ceasefire and resumption of intense violence in July. Witnesses said the two kabooms happened seconds apart shortly after 10 a.m. as crowds, including HDP activists, leftists, labour unions and other civic groups, gathered for a planned march to protest over the deaths of hundreds since conflict resumed between security forces and the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the mainly Kurdish southeast. "I heard one big kaboom first and tried to cover myself as the windows broke. Right away there was the second one," said Serdar, 37, who was working at a newspaper stand in the train station. "There was shouting and crying and I stayed under the newspapers for a while. I could smell burnt flesh." Meanwhile, ...back at the comedy club, Boogie was cracking himself up, but nobody else seemed to be getting the non-stop jokes... NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... Secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg on Monday urged Turkey to be "proportionate" in the way it responded to terrorist attacks even though it had suffered from crises in the Middle East more than any other NATO member. |
