A U.S. citizen who lived in Turkey is among the nine people killed when Israeli commandos stormed a Turkish aid ship heading for the Gaza Strip, officials said today. The victim was identified as Furkan Dogan, 19, a Turkish-American. A forensic report said he was shot at close range, with four bullets in his head and one in his chest, according to the Anatolian news agency.
Dogan was a high school student studying social sciences in the town of Kayseri in central Turkey. He was born in the United States and moved to Turkey at the age of 2. He will be buried in his hometown tomorrow.
The body was returned to Turkey today along with eight others, all Turkish nationals, who were on board the Mavi Maramara.

Great Leader has declared we are no longer defined by our borders, so this is a non-issue
That is exactly right, he merely "migrated" through here at one time ...

The victim was identified as Furkan Dogan, 19'Spose that he should have stayed in his Furkan country? And away from the Furkan protests?
I imagine that this guy had a hard life as a teenager.

All I can say is nice grouping, the IDF training really pays off... No kidding. They sure know how to hit the kill zone, eh? Hope it sends a message to the muzzies, these guys are GOOD!
To: OldDeckHand
I bet he shot by the Turkish thugs who took the pistols away from the soldiers.

Quadruple-tap ... just in case he’s a zombie terrorist. Cool reply. I was going to say it was a "Double-Tap" with a Kicker, but I was not sure that anyone would get the reference!

Hyphenated American with allegiance to the nation of Imperial Islam.
To: CondorFlight
my thought exactly. Remember they took 2 pistols off the soliders and emptied the magazines. They might have killed this guy just to pin it on Israel for PR purposes

He has been raised in an Islamic Country.
Where do you think his loyalty is.
Being part of a terrorist orgs activities says it all.

I think that someone who got four head shots was doing something very bad. Usually, one is enough.
