...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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) blew his room up ahead of an anti-terror operation in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
's southeastern Gaziantep province.

Anti-terror police initiated an operation against an ISIL cell house in Gaziantep's Beylerbeyi neighborhood on Nov. 14, after receiving intelligence that a turban related to the Oct. 10 Ankara bombings had entered the flat.

Special operations units were dispatched to the neighborhood, where many buildings are in construction, while anti-terror police arrived in armored vehicles.

Before the security forces raided the fifth floor flat in the 10-story apartment, an ISIL turban noticed the operation and detonated explosives planted inside his room.

Special operations teams already inside the flat were maimed.

Meanwhile,
...back at the bunker, his Excellency called a hurried meeting of his closest advisors. It was to be his last. They discussed the officers's efficiency rating system...
five coppers who were out taking security measures around the building were also injured as a balcony collapsed with the force of the kaboom.

Five maimed officials were transferred to hospitals in Gaziantep for treatment, with one officer seriously injured.

The operation ensued after the kaboom, as a turban who had fled the cell house ahead of the operation was captured on Ipekyolu Boulevard.

The police also determined two other ISIL snuffies had escaped during the operation. However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
no trace of the snuffies could be found after hours of searches in empty houses around the neighborhood.

Gaziantep Governor Ali Yerlikaya visited the neighborhood after the operation in order to receive information. Yerlikaya later visited the maimed coppers in the hospital.

In a written statement released on Nov. 15, the governor's office announced that five coppers had been maimed, two women had been apprehended and three children had been taken under state protection.

According to the statement, a suicide bomb vest, seven TNT cluster bombs and a large number of Kalashnikovs and explosives were seized in the operation.
