Explosions hit the Turkish headquarters of the London-based HSBC bank and the British consulate on Thursday, killing at least 25 people and wounding 390...

A man calling the semiofficial Anatolia news agency claimed that al-Qaeda and the militant Islamic Great Eastern Raiders' Front, or IBDA-C, jointly claimed responsibility for attacks.

Turkish authorities said the same groups were behind Saturday's nearly simultaneous synagogue bombings in Istanbul

From their website:-
Headquartered in London, and with over 9,500 offices in 79 countries and territories, the HSBC Group is one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organizations.

HSBC may be headquartered in London but they are a Chinese owned bank. I have been waiting with queasy fear to see where the Chinese became involved in the war on terrorism.

HonestReporting citing widespread attribution of blame for blast to world's reaction to Israel's [fill in the blank].

Needless to say sent Reuters et al notice their propaganda now rivals Volkischer Beobachter.

HSBC purchase of Safra's Republic Bank finalized the day after the latter's death.

Terrorists ought to have reconsidered an attack on an institution unfettered by pc roe's.

May the terrorists enjoy the hospitality of the Turks before the sun rises.

I followed this from the time it broke on TV til waaaaaaay after sun-up. Now I'm waiting, once again, for word from my friend who lives there, hoping he managed to be out of harm's way once again.

My heart goes out to the families of those who lost their lives in these attacks, and prayers for swift recoveries for those who were injured.
