"Analysis: Al-Qaida to attack Turkey?
Published: April 18, 2008 at 11:29 AM
By STEFAN NICOLA
UPI Correspondent
Experts are worried that Turkey will soon be hit by an al-Qaida-orchestrated terror attack.
In November 2003 Istanbul was hit by a terror attack that targeted two synagogues, a British bank and the British consulate, killing more than 50 people and injuring 700 others.
Turkish security officials arrested Loai al-Saqa, a Syrian man who was later convicted as the key perpetrator behind the bombings; he received the order to attack from Osama bin Laden, officials said. Another 48 terrorist suspects were arrested and later convicted in connection with the attacks -- a surprisingly high level of support that had security experts fear more bombings.
But nothing much happened since then."
