IS fighter currently under trial: "Turkish Intelligence provided weapons to ISIS"

IS fighter currently under trial: "Turkish Intelligence provided weapons to ISIS" (JPost).

According to a story published in the Cumhuriyet daily on Monday, Turkish authorities are trying to divert public attention from the case because the prosecutor's dossier has details which reveal the involvement of MİT in arms smuggling.

Cumhuriyet reported that Aşkar was told by Topalca that the smuggling would not be a problem in Turkey because he had contacts. Aşkar, Topalca and certain other Turkmens then took the arms to a village near the Syrian border in Hatay province. When they reached the village, Turkish gendarmerie teams carrying a jammer device asked them why they were in a military zone. Aşkar quoted Topalca as saying that they had permission to be there.

“Topalca and the gendarmes made some telephone calls that I couldn't hear. Without any checks on my vehicle, which was loaded with arms, we were taken to the border with a military escort,” Aşkar said. He then added that his vehicle, along with another that had joined them on the way, was taken by people who crossed from the Syrian side to collect the vehicles.

According to Aşkar, Topalca told him that there were 100 rifles belonging to NATO in the vehicle and that the smuggling had been conducted with the approval and support of MİT. Hmmm.....No wonder the Turkish state prosecutor asks life imprisonment for the guards that stopped the MIT trucks....Just guess what these guys could reveal. Read the full story here.
