ISIS Draws a Steady Stream of Recruits From Sometimes NATO 'Ally' Turkey.(NYT).
By CEYLAN YEGINSU

ANKARA, Turkey — Having spent most of his youth as a drug addict in one of the poorest neighborhoods of Turkey’s capital, Can did not think he had much to lose when he was smuggled into Syria with 10 of his childhood friends to join the world’s most extreme jihadist group. After 15 days at a training camp in the Syrian city of Raqqa, the de facto headquarters of the group, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the 27-year-old Can was assigned to a fighting unit. He said he shot two men and participated in a public execution. It was only after he buried a man alive that he was told he had become a full ISIS fighter.

“When you fight over there, it’s like being in a trance,” said Can, who asked to be referred to only by his middle name for fear of reprisal. “Everyone shouts, ‘God is the greatest,’ which gives you divine strength to kill the enemy without being fazed by blood or splattered guts,” he said.

Hundreds of foreign fighters, including some from Europe and the United States, have joined the ranks of ISIS in its self-proclaimed caliphate that sweeps over vast territories of Iraq and Syria. But one of the biggest source of recruits is neighboring Turkey, a NATO member with an undercurrent of Islamist discontent.

ISIS recruitment in Hacibayram caught the news media’s attention in June when a local 14-year-old recruit came back to the neighborhood after he was wounded in a shelling attack in Raqqa. The boy’s father, Yusuf, said that the government had made no formal inquiry into the episode and that members of the local community had started to condemn what they saw as inaction by the authorities.

“There are clearly recruitment centers being set up in Ankara and elsewhere in Turkey, but the government doesn’t seem to care,” said Aaron Stein, a fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based think tank. “It seems their hatred for Bashar al-Assad and their overly nuanced view of what radical Islam is has led to a very short- and narrow-sighted policy that has serious implications.”

The Interior Ministry and National Police Department did not respond to requests for comment.

On a recent afternoon in Ankara, Mr. Erdogan and Mr. Davutoglu came to pray at the historic Haci Bayram Veli Mosque, just over 100 yards away from an underground mosque used by a radical Salafi sect known to oversee ISIS recruits. When news of their visit reached the neighborhood, several residents scurried down the steep hill hoping to catch an opportunity to raise the issue.Hmmm.....'STATE SPONSOR OF TERRORISM' Read the full story here.  More here in Turkish about the recruitment centers of ISIS in Turkey.

Turkey safeguards key sites, feeling threatened in region by hostile state(s)

Turkey safeguards key sites, feeling threatened in region by hostile state(s), This is not an anti-terror program.(HD).

Increasing instability in its volatile region and prospects of tensions and conflict have urged Ankara to rethink its defense against precision strike attacks from mostly state actors.

Security officials said most of Turkey’s “sensitive sites” could no longer be defended without new, sophisticated systems.

“We have too many such sites and practically no defense against precision strikes,” one official said. “We are moving ahead to correct the situation.” the program involved sophisticated protection against “guided weapons.” 

Officials say “sensitive sites” may include present and future bridges on the Bosphorus, selected military and air bases and command centers, and future nuclear energy plants and some dams.

“This is not an anti-terror program. Here the defined threat is sophisticated missile technology, which can only come from hostile states,” one official explained.

The program intends to provide protection for existing and future pipelines especially in Turkey’s southeast. The project comes at a time when oil revenues are a lifeline for the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq, whose peshmerga forces are being supported by U.S. air strikes in their battle against the radical Sunni militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

A pipeline, which first began operating at the start of this year, allows the semi-autonomous Kurdish enclave to independently pump and export oil, carrying northern Iraqi Taq Taq crude to Turkey’s Mediterranean export outlet of Ceyhan.

But Turkey also hopes it will be destined to evolve into a more robust economic and political power with gas from the Caspian Sea set to move from the Southern Caucasus to Europe through Turkish territory.Hmmm.....Almost sound like Iran, who's the 'hostile state'? Israel? What you have here is a dictator peparing from all sides for a coming war, time to wake up and smell the coffee.Read the full story here.

Risk of ISIL sleeper cells is "valid" especially for those countries that should support operations against ISIL.

Risk of ISIL sleeper cells is "valid" especially for those countries that should support operations against ISIL.HT: TurkaFile.

Headlined on the front page of today’s Taraf as "Sleeper cell fear in three cities", correspondent Hüseyin Özay states a "‘sleeper cell’ crisis" to be the "reason" why Turkey did not sign the final declaration at the ‘anti-ISIS’ summit in Saudi Arabia last week.

Özay highlights that while the official reason Turkey does not want to be part of U.S.-led operation against the Islamic militants is because of the 49 Turkish hostages being held, this is only "one of the reasons", and that the "real fear" for Turkish authorities is that of sleeper cells taking action.

According to Özay, the subject was talked about at the NATO summit in Wales and that U.S. officials pointed out that ISIS has cell structures in many countries, and "asked Turkey to be careful" about cells in Turkish cities.

Özay states that the U.S. and EU countries noted that the risk of sleeper cells is "valid" for all countries, and that it is "especially those countries at risk" that should support operations against ISIS "even more".

Özay reports that Turkey has begun an extensive investigation into the organisation after recent developments. However, he writes, members of sleeper cells "cannot be detected" because of the Syrian *refugees in Turkey, making it difficult to determine who is a genuine refugee and who is a cell member. 

Özay notes that the difficulty lies in that the cell members are inactive, and writes that "it is stated that this is one of the biggest security risks for Turkey."Hmmmm......."sleeper cells cannot be detected because of the Syrian *refugees in Turkey.".....Obama 'Admin' will admit thousands of *refugees currently in Turkey into the US as of next year.

Turkey is the 'ground zero' of the global jihad

Turkey is the 'ground zero' of the global jihad (Diewelt). [Googletranslate].

In fact, the attitude of the run of the conservative Islamic AKP government in Ankara against the Islamic is dubious. Long time Erdogan supported the militant opposition to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad. Despite concerns of Americans Turkey saw no problem in lush equip the Islamist fighters of al-Nusra front with weapons. Today, al-Nusra working in Syria with the Islamic State together.

Turkish media reported repeatedly on arms shipments to the Islamists, who are disguised as aid convoys. In November 2013 it flew on a maneuver in Adana. The local governor said after a search that is not about food and relief supplies were aboard the truck, but warheads for grenade launcher. The convoy was backed by members of the secret service, the argued about with the local police, whether one should investigate the charges. (*Now the Turkish 'gov' is asking life sentences for the border guards who stopped the trucks and saw the content)To date, Recep Tayyip Erdogan , Prime Minister earlier now president, condemned the bloody machinations of IS not directly as terrorism. The new Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu avoids the bad word. No more - The Islamic State was "reactionary" it says.

Ankara does not want to participate in the military of the United States just forged States Coalition Against the IS-terror, but only with logistical and humanitarian support. The restraint has several reasons: First, Erdogan has set out early to consider the enemies of Assad as his friends. Apparently it keep the foreign policy of the Turkish government in the longer term possible, to come up with the IS politically into business. Secondly, beginning June 49 members of a Turkish consulate in Syria were taken by fighters of the IS hostage - and with them the Iraq and Syria policy of the Turkish government. About this topic as well as on the truck incident on the border with Syria News barriers were imposed. It would not endanger the life of the consulate employees and therefore weigh his words, it is said in Ankara. 

IS advertises on Turkish marketplaces.

The Turkey has meanwhile become the most important transit area of the IS-terrorist developed. Young men arrange to meet via Facebook and Twitter for the holy war. "The network of IS in Turkey is far-reaching and strong," said a professor from Ankara, which explores the terror structures in the region for years. He does not want to give his name for security reasons. In market places, in cafes, in shopping malls even young men of IS-cadres would enlisted in Turkey. Even bookstores would be converted to contact stations. Some Hodschas, Turkish religious scholar, would recruit fighters for the IS. No one keeps on doing so far. For traveling in the Jihad fighters would have to pay up to 150 Turkish lira - a little more than 50 euros.

As this Holy War looks Fadil Dag has seen with his own eyes. Three days after he heard of the death of his son, he set out in a jeep on the way to the Syrian city of Rakka. He wanted to bring the body home. In Rakka is the headquarters of the Islamic State. What Dag has seen there, he will never forget. Were on the streets amputated and rotten body, severed heads of executed men were impaled on bars. Despite this panopticon of horror everyday life goes on there. Fadil Dag met during his 24-hour stay in Rakka late August 40-50 compatriots. Even from a Turkish brigade he has heard. In the morning they went into the fight as to work. Evening they came back decimated. Who had fallen, was celebrated as a martyr. The monthly pay is 100 to $ 150. 

The United States urging Ankara to more effective border controls. Apparently with little success: In Konya Kart reported on Saturday that 53 couples had broken up with her children in the Islamic State solely from the Turkish border town of Gaziantep on 11 September. They had met at an intersection near a carpet factory. Apparently the IS advertises not only fighters, but whole families - and in a time in which is to be expected also in Syria with U.S. air attacks on IS-centers.

Apparently, the Turkish government has long believed to be able to control the Islamist groups. But the IS has long since become independent. From Iraq and Syria to Turkey there are only a few steps. And threats by leaders of the IS against Ankara has already given. Motto: When you come in our way, we will attack you. Turkey sits long on a minefield, but so far the policy will not admit it.

The Structure of the Islamic State (ISIS), it doesn't contain Amish, Buddhists or other non Muslim Groups.

The Structure of the Islamic State (ISIS), it doesn't contain Amish, Buddhists or other non Muslim Groups. HT: Ibloga. (JCPA).

Much has been written and said about the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham (the Levant) — ISIS. Most of the commentators have looked at ISIS as another terrorist organization, an al-Qaeda off-shoot, waging a guerrilla war with cohorts of unorganized thugs. The Afghani-style gear, the pickup trucks, the all black or army fatigue uniforms which most ISIS fighters wear, the unshaven beards, the turbans, hoods and head “bandanas” with Arabic inscriptions have added to the confusion.

In fact, ISIS is much more than a terrorist organization; it is a terrorist state with almost all governing elements. Over the last three years, since the beginning of the civil war in Syria, the Islamic State developed from an extremist fringe and marginal faction participating in the civil war to become the strongest, most ferocious, best funded and best armed militia in the religious and ethnic war that is waged today in Syria and Iraq.

But first, what is the name of this entity and what are the borders of the Islamic State? From the first days of its appearance in Syria in 2011, the organization was known as ISIS. However, since the declaration in Summer 2014 of the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate headed by Ibrahim ‘Awad Ibrahim Al Badri al Samarra’i, alias Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — now the self-declared “Caliph Ibrahim” — ISIS has been transformed into the “Islamic State” (Al Dawla Al Islamiya ) in order to stress the fact that the Caliphate is not to be limited to Iraq, Syria, Israel (Palestine), Jordan and the Levant, but its ambitions lie well beyond those limited borders.

According to the maps published by the Islamic State, the Islamic State will include Andalus in the West (Spain) and stretch from North Africa — the Maghreb — (and the whole of West Africa including Nigeria) through Libya and Egypt (considered one geographical unit – Ard Al-Kinana), include what is called in Islamic state terminology, Ard el Habasha (from Cameroon in the west, Central Africa, the Victoria lake states, Ethiopia and Somalia), the Hijaz (Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States), Yemen until Khurasan in the east – defined as the Central Asian Muslim Republics beginning with Azerbaijan and including Pakistan and the South west part of China, land of the Muslims of Turkish origin, the Uyghurs. The Islamic State includes also Iran and Turkey (named Anadol) in their entirety and parts of Europe (mainly the Balkans, more or less conforming to the borders of the defunct Ottoman Empire with the Austro-Hungarian territories).

Sources close to what is called «alliance supporting the legitimate», that Qatar supplied a list of 70 leading Salafist and jihadist members of the Coalition for demanding to leave Doha, next Saturday, most notably Tariq al, the leader of the construction and development of the Islamic Group, and Ihab Shiha, head of PAM Salafist, and 400 members of the Alliance have already begun to leave Qatar to Turkey.

The sources said, «Egyptian today», said the departures will work in Islamic organizations founded by a number of leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood in Ankara and began to provide housing to accommodate the expelled Turkish land where the station would be to take them before choosing the country for permanent residence.

She added that some of the leaders of the group, which fled from Egypt will travel to Doha, Qatar, where he agreed with the British government on the facilities for them to enter the largest number of them to London, which does not exist between them and Egypt extradition treaty.

In a related context, the group attacked the activists and supporters on social networking sites Qatar because of the expulsion of the group's leaders with student leaders of the alliance supporting the legitimacy to stop the attack in recognition of the position of Doha and hosted by former leaders during the past period.

Badri said Mustafa, a member of the Salafist Front, the leading alliance and resident in Turkey, it is likely that is heading the group's leaders who asked them to leave the territory of national authorities to Malaysia or Turkey in the coming period.

The «Badri» that this step comes within the framework of the implementation of the reconciliation agreement Gulf, especially after the visit of the foreign and interior ministers and the intelligence chief of Saudi to Qatar, but the coalition thank Doha for its stance during the last period, and estimated the difficulty faced pressure regional and international severe, you might not state the size of Qatar steadfastness in front of her.

And Engineer Mahmoud Fathi, head of the Virtue Party Salafist, leading the alliance and the fugitive to Turkey, not to interest a heart loss of shelter and emphasized that the Egyptian revolution does not start from the outside but from the inside on the hands of young people, and said: «There are the interests of the international political unknown now underway may reveal her days ».

He revealed Nasir Mahmood, media spokesman for the PAM, that Qatar has responded to the demands of the GCC in order to preserve its interests and there is information that they consider the media to raise support for opponents to isolate former President Mohamed Morsy, and recognize the legitimacy of the current Egyptian regime.

Radi said a spark, a leading figure Party homeland and the Alliance, a fugitive in Turkey, said that the expulsion decision is not new, as was the result of understandings Arabia, Qatar after the visit of the Saudi delegation to Doha a few days ago, and there are other decisions that will be issued consecutively, such as toning media against Egypt so that no more than 45 seconds on the news, in addition to delaying the end of the flyers, and the abolition of the program «Egyptian scene», and the recognition of the new reality, and ease description (the coup), and deport members of the group and its supporters. The «spark», «Egyptian today», that expelled will go to Malaysia, Turkey, Indonesia and Sudan.Hmmm....And as pres Obama said in the past 'Indonesia is an example of religious tolerance'.

Now we're talking - Egypt to ask Interpol to arrest Brotherhood figures leaving Qatar.(Taz).

Egypt’s chief prosecutor on Saturday reportedly called on Interpol to chase exiled Muslim Brotherhood members who are pending criminal investigations as they prepare to flee Qatar, Alarabiya reported.

Egypt has previously requested for international arrests of Brotherhood members involved in the incitement or the triggering of violence in Egypt following the ouster of President Mohammad Mursi in July 2013.

Prosecutor Hisham Barakat has demanded “the renewal of the Interpol red notices against the Brotherhood members, especially those fleeing in Qatar and Turkey,” reported Al-Ahram newspaper’s English portal.

His calls came as reports on Saturday suggested that Qatar has asked senior members of the Islamist group to leave the country.

Several group members and their supporters, who were fugitives in the peninsular state, announced Saturday that their departure was not to cause any problems to Qatar.

Sources told the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat that some 29 figuers linked to the Brotherhood are going to leave Qatar. Among them is Essam Telima, a former member of religious cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi's office.

Preacher Wagdi Ghoneim, an outspoken supporter of the Brotherhood, along with Amr Darrag, a former member of the Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, are also among the departures.
Qatar’s support for the Islamist group has strained relations Egypt and its Gulf neighbors Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.

The Brotherhood is decalred a terrorist movement in Egypt, and is blacklisted in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Hmmm....Erdogan is in Qatar for two days, what are the chances he'll give his 'buddies' a lift?

Turkish reaction to American requests to cut off ISIS's oil sales appears to be non existent.

Turkish reaction to American requests to cut off ISIS's oil sales appears to be non existent.(NYT).


WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is struggling to cut off the millions of dollars in oil revenue that has made the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria one of the wealthiest terror groups in history, but so far has been unable to persuade Turkey, the NATO ally where much of the oil is traded on the black market, to crack down on an extensive sales network.

Western intelligence officials say they can track the ISIS oil shipments as they move across Iraq and into Turkey’s southern border regions. Despite extensive discussions inside the Pentagon, American forces have so far not attacked the tanker trucks, though a senior administration official said Friday “that remains an option.”

Turkey’s failure thus far to help choke off the oil trade symbolizes the magnitude of the challenges facing the administration both in assembling a coalition to counter the Sunni militant group and in starving its lifeblood. ISIS’ access to cash is critical to its ability to recruit members, meet its growing payroll of fighters, expand its reach and operate across the territory of two countries.

“Turkey in many ways is a wild card in this coalition equation,” said Juan Zarate, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and author of “Treasury’s War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare.” “It’s a great disappointment: There is a real danger that the effort to degrade and destroy ISIS is at risk. You have a major NATO ally, and it is not clear they are willing and able to cut off flows of funds, fighters and support to ISIS.”

“Oil is a huge part of the financing equation” that empowers ISIS, said James Phillips, the senior fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs at the Heritage Foundation, a Washington-based research center.

“The key gateway through that black market is the southern corridor of Turkey,” Mr. Khatteeb said. “Turkey is becoming part of this black economy” that funds ISIS.

But targeting the smuggling network has proved a major challenge, and so far the Turkish authorities have been unwilling to cooperate.

“They’ve been turning a blind eye to it, because they benefit from the lower price of smuggled black-market oil,” Mr. Phillips said, “and I’m sure there are substantial numbers of Turks that are also profiting from this, maybe even government officials.”.

According to Ali Ediboglu, a Turkish MP for the border province of Hatay, IS is selling the bulk of its oil from regions in Syria and Mosul in Iraq through Turkey, with the tacit consent of Turkish authorities: 

“They have laid pipes from villages near the Turkish border at Hatay. Similar pipes exist also at [the Turkish border regions of] Kilis, Urfa and Gaziantep. They transfer the oil to Turkey and parlay it into cash. They take the oil from the refineries at zero cost.Using primitive means, they refine the oil in areas close to the Turkish border and then sell it via Turkey. This is worth $800 million.”

He also noted that the extent of this and related operations indicates official Turkish complicity. “Fighters from Europe, Russia, Asian countries and Chechnya are going in large numbers both to Syria and Iraq, crossing from Turkish territory.

There is information that at least 1,000 Turkish nationals are helping those foreign fighters sneak into Syria and Iraq to join ISIS. The National Intelligence Organization (MIT) is allegedly involved. None of this can be happening without MIT’s knowledge.” Hmmm....From Day one that ISIS invaded Iraq i said it was about the oil and Turkey.....told you so.Read the full 'story' here.

Indonesian counter-terrorism officials have arrested four Turkish nationals suspected of links to Islamic State.

Indonesian counter-terrorism officials have arrested four Turkish nationals suspected of links to Islamic State.(Haaretz).


Local news web site Tempo.co reported that the four were Turkish citizens, who were arrested Saturday in Poso, a district in Indonesia's Central Sulawesi province, along with three Indonesians.

They were arrested after the counter terrorism squad and local police tailed their car on the way to a mountainous area in Poso, an Islamic militant stronghold.

"We are still investigating their background and their intentions of being in Poso and whether their arrivals were illegal," police spokesman Ronny Sompie said. (DPA)

They are reportedly being investigated for links to Islamic State militants in Iraq and had planned to join up with Santoso, a wanted Indonesian terrorist cell leader.

Santoso is understood to have been the field commander of Jemaah Ansharut Tauhid (JAT), an offshoot of Jemaah Islamiah, an Al Qaeda-linked cell which was behind the Bali bombings.

Indonesia's national police spokesman, Boy Rafli, says another wanted man called Mochtar, from the terrorist stronghold of Poso, had organised for the Turkish men to meet up with Santoso. More here.

Turkish bank money laundering suspicions pose risks to Turkish gov.

Turkish bank money laundering suspicions pose risks to Turkish gov.(HD).

A money laundering document that Turkey's state-run bank Ziraat Bankası is expected to provide to the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will reveal if firms blacklisted by the US used Turkish banks for illegal money transfers to countries such as Iran, with a possible finding of such transfers threatening to dent Turkish banks' credibility in international markets, observers argued on Monday.

Market sources also stressed that allegations of helping firms circumvent US sanctions may put the Turkish government in serious trouble.

The Fed made public a deal with Ziraat earlier this month, saying that it had asked Ziraat to provide “an acceptable written plan” regarding suspected money laundering within 60 days. That the Fed has released a copy of the deal on its website is something that market experts have said showcases how seriously the US authorities take the issue. Others have said that possible revelations of money laundering may dent the credibility of the Turkish banking system in international markets.

The Fed could be seeking to uncover alleged money transfers by Iranian businessman Reza Zarrab from Turkey to Iran in those given dates [July 1, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2012], opposition True Path Party (DYP) Deputy Chairman Kemal Abdullahoğlu said on Monday in Ankara.

The final five months of 2012 also mark the period in which Turkish gold exports to Iran peaked, with more than $3 billion in sales. Ankara's preference of paying for Iranian natural gas in gold was considered “suspicious” by some US critics back then. Recalling that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan defended Zarrab as a “charitable person” despite serious allegations, the DYP official said that the next two months will show if the government can escape the scrutiny of the US authorities.

Fethullah Gulen Statement on ISIS, States what the Turkish pres & NATO 'Ally' should say

Fethullah Gulen Statement on ISIS.(Gulen).


New York, August 22, 2014 – I deplore the brutal atrocities being committed by the ISIS terrorist group hiding behind a false religious rhetoric and join the people of conscience from around the world in calling for these perpetrators to immediately cease their cruel and inhuman acts. Any form of attack, suppression or persecution of minorities or innocent civilians is an act that contradicts the principles of the Qur’an and the tradition of our Prophet upon whom be peace and blessings.

ISIS members are either completely ignorant of the spirit of Islam and its blessed messenger, or their actions are designed to serve their individual interests or those of their political masters. Regardless, their actions represent those of a terrorist group and they should be labeled as such and be brought to justice.

The goal of religion is to establish peace based on universal human rights, rule of law and high human values in the world. Any interpretations to the contrary, including the abuse of religion to help fuel conflicts, are either false or deceitful. In true Islamic thought based on its core principles, every mean to a legitimate end should also be legitimate itself. To think or act otherwise is nothing but Machiavellism.

I send my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the deceased in Iraq and Syria, and to the family and friends of the slain journalist James Foley. May God give them patience and perseverance, and alleviate their suffering. I pray for the immediate release of other hostages and ask God, the Merciful to lead us all into a world of mutual respect and peace. I invite everybody to join together in this prayer.Hmmm....'Sometimes' NATO ally Turkey has to go.

'Islamist' Turkish government co-operated with al-Qaeda in Syria, says former US ambassador.

'Islamist' Turkish government co-operated with al-Qaeda in Syria, says former US ambassador. (Telegraph).

Turkey has directly supported al-Qaeda's wing in Syria in defiance of the United States, the former American ambassador to Ankara has said. 

The Turkish authorities thought they could work with extremist Islamist groups in the Syrian civil war and at the same time push them to become more moderate, Francis Ricciardone, who was until late June the US ambassador to Ankara, told journalists in a briefing.

That led them to work with Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda's branch, as well as hardline Salafi Islamist groups like Ahrar al-Sham. Mr Ricciardone said that he tried to persuade the Turkish government to close its borders to the groups, but to no avail.

"We ultimately had no choice but to agree to disagree," he said. "The Turks frankly worked with groups for a period, including al Nusra, whom we finally designated as we're not willing to work with."(* AlNusra was designated as an Al-Qaeda affiliate and on the UN Sanctions list!)

Turkey allowed its borders to be used as a conduit for aid, weapons and volunteers heading for the Syrian rebel cause from the start of the uprising, and there have long been accusations that it did not do enough to distinguish between "moderate" groups and extremists.

But this is the first time a senior American official - albeit one no longer in service - has said openly that Turkey was working with al-Qaeda.

Turkish analysts say the government is also worried about a wider backlash by Isil, which now has recruiting stations and supporters entrenched in the country.

"For a long time the Islamic State militants have operated under the policy of 'benign neglect'," said Sinan Ulgen, a former diplomat and head of the Istanbul foreign policy think-tank Edam.

Report: ISIL using ammunition produced by 'Sometimes' NATO Turkey.

Report: ISIL using ammunition produced by 'Sometimes' NATO Turkey. (TZ).

Terrorist Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants fighting against Kurdish forces in Iraq have been using ammunition marked as coming from the Turkish Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation (MKE), according to the Taraf daily.

Taraf reported on Tuesday that the MKE-marked ammunition was found out after a recent fight between the ISIL militants and the Kurdish forces in Arbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq.

According to the report, the US experts who examined the ammunition were surprised to see the MKE mark on the ISIL ammunition. Following this discovery, US officials have begun to investigate how this ammunition ended up in the hands of ISIL militants.

The daily also claimed that the MKE-marked ammunition has caused problems for Turkey on international platforms such as at last week's NATO summit in Wales and that Turkey was forced to defend its activities.

Furthermore, many foreign officials and Western media have started to voice concerns over Turkey's alleged support of al-Qaeda splinter group ISIL and the al-Nusra Front. According to some press reports, Turkey allegedly sent a number of trucks carrying aid and possibly military equipment to the radical groups.

According to Turkish Aydinlik daily, ISIS has set up a number of field hospitals in areas under its control in eastern Syrian city of Al-Riqqa and western Iraq is using camouflage to hide them from aerial surveillance.

Many ISIS former patients whom were treated in those field hospitals and later imprisoned by Iraqi army have confirmed the information indicating the existence of Turkish medical teams in ISIS controlled areas, reported Aydinlik newspaper.

A patient, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that there are many Turkish doctors and nurses are serving in ISIS hospitals. Meanwhile many Turkish lawmakers accuse the Turkish administration of providing assistance to ISIS in its struggle against the Syrian government of President Assad.

Earlier critics of Turkish government accused AKP administration of then Prime Minister Erdoghan of allowing ISIS militants to find safe havens inside Turkish territories and also there were reports revealing stories about injured ISIS members receiving free medical treatments in in Hatay State Hospital. Hmmmm.....Lets stop the PC and call out Turkey for what is is a 'State sponsor of Terrorism'. They put sanctions on Russia for such behaviour so why not on Islamist Turkey? Read the full story here.

NATO 'Sometimes' ally Turkey will contribute against ISIL, but we don't know what, when and how.

NATO 'Sometimes' ally Turkey will contribute against ISIL, but we don't know what, when and how. (HD).

“Our expectation is that Turkey, a NATO ally, just by virtue of her geography is going to be a partner in this effort, and they indicated that they would be and that they want to be,” Kirby said while responding to a question on Turkey’s not signing the Jeddah communique, which pledges military action on the ISIL, during a Sept. 12 press briefing.

 “But it's up to Turkish leaders and the Turkish people to determine how and when that is manifested. We're not going to dictate to that,” he said.

 Turkey has highlighted that it would lend non-combatant support to a possible struggle against ISIL, as its 49 diplomats are still kept hostage by the Jihadists.

 Asked about what would happen “if Turkey doesn't contribute anything to the military,” Kirby said: “I don't think it's going to be an issue. I think Turkey will contribute. They've indicated that. But they're going to do it in their own way and in accordance with their own mandates from the Turkish people.” Hmmm....And Erdogan is renowned for listening to the demands of the 'Turkish People'.....Read the full 'fairy tale' story here.
