#6 Gorb, I like the way you think, but I hope to God that it's a wee bit more complicated than that.

#8 Update from Al Ahram:

Fire in residential building in Turkey's Ankara under control: Turkish official

A fire broke out at a residential building in the Turkish capital Ankara but it has been brought under control, a Turkish official said on Tuesday, following reports on social media about a possible explosion.

Reuters reporters in Ankara could see the fire, which appeared to be in a small building. No loud explosion had been heard in the city, they said.

Tensions are running high in Turkey following last Friday's failed military coup and a series of purges the government has launched in state institutions against those it considers implicated.

All's well that ends, I suppose.
