#1 I could see Recep being tipped off by his ISIS buddies and allowing this to happen. Don't forget, there's a different mindset at play in this part of the world with regards to 'collateral damage'.

Promotes his 'we're all in this together' meme, and 'solidarity' with the western powers, plus obfuscates the Neo-Ottoman Empire's collaboration with the Daeshbags. (love that term)

#2 Mullah Richard----with Recip's lust for power, I can easily see him going for this in a convoluted untraceable way. He needed some victim points after hosing Putin, who does not forget, and dealing with the consequences of that fiasco.
