Note: I believe it is early morning in Turkey, so this around the time Jews go to the synagogue for Sat. Morning religious services.

HAARETZ REPORTS 11 KILLED AT "Neveh Shalom" synagogue.
There are currently no details as to what caused this explosion, etc.

I don't think al-quaida wants to screw around in Turkey too much. The Turks have long memories to go with their long knives.

Let me also be clear that some Israeli media says that the explosion was next to the place, and some say it was at the place.

You know, with the universal tolerance of explosives as a legitimate form of social and political expression, I find it very very odd that no mosques are ever subject to this universal malady.

Israel Radio now reports (reporter in Turkey):
Terror Attack at 2 Synagogues in Turkey. First reports 11 murdered, but these look to be rising.
At the time these places were full of Jews praying on Sat. morning.
Ariel Sharon has been notified and being briefed.

Let me also be clear that some Israeli media says that the explosion was next to the place, and some say it was at the place. A distinction without a difference.
I suspect it is easier to cram a room full of explosives next door, rather than in the Temple itself.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&e=1&u=/ap/20031115/ap_on_re_mi_ea/turkey_explosion ISTANBUL, Turkey - Explosions ripped through the narrow streets near Istanbul's largest synagogue on Saturday, killing 11 people, Turkish television reported.
The blasts went off near the Neve Shalom synagogue, the city's largest. Private NTV television said the explosions were triggered by a natural gas leak, while CNN-Turk said police were investigating the possibility that it was an attack.
Firefighters reported 11 dead and several more injured, CNN-Turk reported.
In 1986, gunmen killed 22 worshippers and wounded six during a Sabbath service at the synagogue.

Ariel Sharon has been notified and being briefed. But can he really do anything. It happened in Turkey, not in Israel or the West Bank.
