 When will this crazyness end?  Let´s all pray for peace.

Wahnsinn! Schrecklich!

The bomb yesterday in the south of Turkey that injured 13 policemen and killed the attacker, was indeed a suicide attack. Those were the words of the Turkish minister of Internal Affairs, Besir Atalay, today. He said that the police was persueing a man who let the bomb explode near a police post. The police is investigating of who is responsible for the explosion. The gouverner of Mersin, Huseyin Aksoy, said Kurdisch terrorist are responsible but there are also Islamic and left-wing extremists active in Turkey. So far, no organisation claimed the attack.

All we need now is for them to target tourists. Why cant things be dealt with in a diplomatic manner, nobody deserves to die as a result of a mindless attack.

Update car bomb in Mersin: the offender possessed a fake ID-card. His real identity is still unknown.

Update car bomb in Izmir: there are at least 14 injured - 8 policemen, 3 soldiers, 3 civilians. NTV says there are 16 injured.

is there a list with the names of the injured?????

 I don´t know, not here in the media. Maybe in a Turkish newspaper?

I was just looking at one a few moments ago.  I will reopen the site and post it here.

Names of the people and the hospitals they are in:
