ANKARA - The Turkish capital has had another bomb scare, only days after a massive car bomb was found in the centre of the city. Haberin devamı
Late Thursday, security authorities announced they had intercepted a van carrying up to 500 kilograms of explosives on the road to Ankara. The van, which was registered in Germany, had crossed into Turkey via the Kapikule border gate with Bulgaria.
Bulgarian customs officials had tipped off Turkish security that the van appeared to be suspicious, and it was later stopped before it reached its destination.
Reports say that four persons, including two Turkish nationals, were detained by security forces. It is believed that the van had travelled from Sweden.
On Tuesday, a 300 kilogram bomb was found inside a minibus parked in a multi storey car park in the centre of Ankara. The bomb was defused by police before it could be detonated.
To date, no arrests have been made but police have said they are seeking a male with an Arab accent.

From or through Germany. They must’ve taken the scenic route.

I think the Turks may be in for a lot of attention from terrorists after they helped the Israelis out with their Syria raid.

Most likely just a Swedish avante garde film maker touring Ankara in a van.
Uh, maybe not.
But was it not Sweden where they killed Van Gogh’s great nephew? Nope, Holland. These used to be such nice nice Nordic quiet bucolic countries. so much for the Blonde pigtails and wooden shoes....!

If Sweden becomes islam’s foothold in Europe, Gustavus Adolphus will spin in his grave at better than 10,000 RPM.
Ironic how the Vikings may have become one of the first to submit to Dhimmitude.
