#1 Update: Authorities arrested six people Wednesday in the synagogue bombings. A Turkish court charged five with "attempting to overthrow the constitutional structure," which carries a sentence of life imprisonment. The sixth was charged with "helping illegal organizations," punishable by five years in prison, Anatolia said. No trial date was set.

#2 Time for a sustained aerial bombardment of southern Lebanon, followed by an assault on the Bekaa Valley. If "messages" are trying to be sent, such an action would send a nice, clear one.

#3 Turkish Hezbollah's a different critter from Lebanese Hezbollah. There's also a Soddy organization of the same name, and an internal mob in Iran with that name.

We aren't talking about real original thinkers here.

#4 Iran has the Ansar-e Hezbollahi, they're more into beating student demonstrators than blowing things up (it's the SMKI aka People's Muj who do that kind of thing.) There were rumours that the MIT used to tolerate Turkish Hizbullah because TH had 'problems' with the PKK (lefties & nationalists too - how unislamic can you get!) Dunno if things have changed since Ocalan got nabbed.
