Police arrest alleged mastermind in Turkey resort blasts
Turkish Press ^ | 10/25/2006

Turkish police are questioning the suspected mastermind behind a series of bombings in August at a popular Mediterranean resort that injured 10 British tourists, the Anatolia press agency reported Wednesday. A total of 21 people were hurt August 27 in blasts that shook the resort of Marmaris in southwestern Turkey, a popular destination for British vacationers.

The suspect was captured in the southeastern town of Gaziantep and taken to the southwestern province of Mugla Tuesday, where he was later questioned by anti-terrorist police, according to the Anatolia agency.

A radical Kurdish group, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK), claimed responsibility for the attacks, calling them a response to Ankara's "mistreatment" of its Kurdish population and of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, who is serving a life sentence on a prison island.

Last July, an Irish teenager, a British woman and three Turks were killed, and 13 others, including five Britons, were wounded when a bomb blew up a minibus carrying holiday-makers from a beach to the centre of Kusadasi, on the Aegean coast.

I don't think they do waterboarding over there, it's more like interrogative drowning.

I hope he rues the day he was born by the time the Turks finish him off. He'll give up his own mother before he is done with, and that is a good thing.
