Kurdish Terrorist strike in Turkey: Holiday bus ride to the beach ends in bloody slaughter
Yesterday looked like the perfect day to head for the beach in Kusadasi. It was 31�C under a cloudless sky and holidaymakers who boarded an early-morning minibus taxi to the nearby Ladies Beach probably had little more on their minds than what factor sun cream to apply. Then came the carnage. At 10.30am, just as the minibus was approaching its final stop in Ataturk Square, central Kusadasi, a blast ripped through the minibus, blowing off its roof and scattering metal for yards around. Bloodied human remains lay on the road surface. Police officials said that the preliminary evidence pointed to a female suicide bomber of Turkish nationality belonging to a Kurdish terrorist group, believed to be in possession of hundreds of kilograms of such explosive obtained from Iraq. Kurdish terrorists are presently finding a safe heaven in the Kurdish controlled Northern Iraq, while US forces stationed there are turning blind eye to these operations.
