Not if your Erdogan. The terrorists are his boys. Judges, teachers and reporters are likely to be secularists.

It's a real stretch to call a police officer "an official," but then you never do care about accuracy or intellectual honesty. By all means, go ahead and whip this into something more mysterious and conspiratorial than it really is.

Calm down son.

I'm was simply commenting on what someone else said. In your zeal to make personal insult, you must have missed this.


Fact of the matter Turkey is a NATO country and that might very well have ramifications.

No one knows if he was ISIS. Its too early to call it. Maybe he was, and maybe he wasn't, but the point is that we should not assume. He was obviously a muslim, we know that must. Was he ISIS? We don't know. What was his motivation? We don't know.

He was a security police officer. Obviously infiltrated the police somehow/maybe or possible was radicalized recently and ordered to carry out the attack due to the current Aleppo campaign being won by Russia/Assad

And by the end of 2003, the US no longer had a base in the KSA.
Let's see...
1) On 9/11, about 3000 innocent Americans with ZERO involvement in US foreign policy were killed.
2) Following the attacks, Afghanistan was occupied, Taliban's ass kicked, Mullah Omar dead after hiding several years.
3) Iraq invaded and occupied, Saddam's regime toppled.
4) US presence in the Middle East increased 10 fold.
5) Al Qaeda hunted all over the globe. The planners of 9/11 arrested, some killed
6) Bin Laden himself caught (after several years), send to urgently meet Allah.
7) Ayman al-Zawahirie remains the only surviving Al Qaeda leader - currently in hiding (probably living a rats life in a cave).

I doubt it'll matter much where the shooter was from. Turkey is looking for a good excuse to kick Syrian refugees out. This guy may have just handed them one. He invoked Syria and Aleppo and that'll be connection enough for most.
