They wanted to kill the Jews.The fact they also killed Turks doesn't matter,Ramadan doesn't matter, Iraqis,or jihadists car bombing Iraqis doesn't matter..if they kill an American or someone who seems to be cooperating...or walking by.

It is believed the ceiling of the synagogue fell on top of those inside.

I can imagine you would.Those jihadists seem to be after soft targets,though.Of course the road side bombs are a menace and hard to detect.
May God watch over each of our military men and women and bring them home safe.May the bombers experience hell soon.

Bomb Raid on Synagogues in Turkey, 24 dead, 100 wounded My lord...

The ammonia contamination could have been the result of a ruptured refrigeration or cooling system. A mere thimble full of ammonia can render a large room uninhabitable.
Ammonia can be explosive, though only under a very narrow range of conditions (pressure and PPM concentration). An intentional ammonia explosion would be very difficult to produce.
My prayers are with the victims of this attack.
