'Turkish Hezbollah' issuing terror threats
Saturday, December 23, 2006
ISTANBUL - Associated Press
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Kurdish Islamic militant group with reported ties to al-Qaeda is re-emerging in Turkey after six years underground -- and has started issuing vague but worrying threats, authorities say.
Turkish Hezbollah's rise parallels developments across the broader Muslim world, where the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon are believed to have served as powerful recruiting tools for radical Islamic groups.
Turkish Hezbollah, which takes its name from the better-known Lebanon-based Hezbollah but has no formal links to it, was largely eradicated six years ago when its leader was killed and more than 6,000 of its members were arrested in a massive police crackdown.
Like the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Turkish group is allegedly backed by Iran."
