| [RUDAW.NET] A convicted member 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.... terrorist group has had his sentence reduced for "good conduct" during the course of his hearing despite disappearing and not participating in his trial, ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s Dogan News Agency reported Monday. A compatriot nabbed Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! with him, and released with charges dropped, took part in the deadliest terror attack in modern Turkish history. Ahmet Gunes was arrested during a roadside stop in Gaziantep, southern Turkey, on March 25, 2014. Searches of the car he was travelling in and his home unearthed documents related to the Islamic State, including footage of Gunes shooting an alleged Syrian member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Latakia, Syria. Footage of Gunes receiving weapons and explosives training at an Islamic State (ISIS) camp in Syria was also discovered by the police. Gunes, along with Mustafa Delibaslar, who was driving the car at the time of their arrest, and Ökkes Durmaz who was travelling with Gunes, were charged on April 22, 2014 with being members of a terrorist organization. On May 27, 2014, the additional charge of intentional murder was filed against Gunes. Gunes argued in a preliminary court hearing that he killed the Syrian man out of concern for his own life and had no connections with the ISIS terrorist group. The three suspects were released on October 30, 2014 pending trial. But none of them showed up at their trials and the police were unable to locate them. The charges against Delibaslar and Durmaz were dropped due to insufficient evidence and a travel ban on the two was lifted. But the trial of Gunes continued in absentia and the prosecutor sought a life sentence on the murder charge. Gunes was found guilty of receiving training at an ISIS camp, murder, and joining a terrorist group. He was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison but the court reduced his sentence to six years and three months due to his "good conduct" during the trial process; a process he did not participate in as he failed to appear and the police could not locate him. Gunes was one of 19 suspected holy warriors monitored by Turkish police between 2012 and 2014, according to Hurriyet Daily News. He was suspected of helping to finance ISIS and is believed to be currently in Syria. Delibaslar, the driver of the car arrested with Gunes who had the charges against him dropped, was one of the suspects in a double bombing outside Ankara’s central railway station on October 10, 2015. The blast killed 103 and is the deadliest terror attack in modern Turkish history. |
