Even worse, it looks like the shooter was an Ankara Police "special operations force" member. Looks like he might have been there as security the way he was standing behind the podium before the shooting.
I believe reputable news sources have said it was an off-duty police officer who clearly has sympathies with the Syrian opposition.
Black eye for Turkey today, but I don’t know how much worse anything will become given the horrible situation already in the region and Syria. FWIW - I don’t expect Trump to continue Obama’s feckless policies in the Middle East. He has indicated multiple times to anyone who listens that his goal is to defeat ISIS. Period.
Yep - someone either related or a friend was lost and they got him in close or he used his contacts to do so.
I dare say the next 32 days will be interesting (including today).
I have my reasons but I generally keep it private right now.
Let’s see what unfolds. I still recommend folks pray, read their Scripture and prep to some degree, if possible.
