The first blast occurred in a telephone booth and the second went off as crowds gathered. About 70 people were wounded. TV footage showed bloodied men and women lying on the street and being carried to ambulances in blankets. The blasts occurred at 2200 local time (1900 GMT) in the Gungoren district of the city, popular with local people. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7527977.stm whats the problem with this guys? blowing up civilians is the only way they know how to solve their problems? :shrug: is Turkey oppresses them?
I hope the person behind it is caught and executed. Seriously, this is stupid. What did those people do to you? Who is behind this anyway?
So much for the Peace of Islam. Everybody claims Islam is so peacful, and the Bodies just keep pilling higher and higher. Children, Women, Men, all so far from being military target, just trying to live their lives, and because they aren't the anointed one of Islam, kill them they don't count is the scheme of Islam.

The Troubles (Irish: Na Trioblóidí) was a period of conflict involving republican and loyalist paramilitary organisations, political activist and civil rights groups, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC), the British Army and others in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s until the Belfast Agreement of 10 April 1998. The Troubles have been variously described as terrorism, ethnic conflict, a many-sided conflict, a guerrilla war, a low intensity conflict, and even a civil war. It was a localized conflict, that didn't involve anyone out side of Ireland and Britain, in the dying. There were no suicide bombing, and eventually the mothers got tired of seeing their children grow up in the Troubles, and die, and they brought peace. Islam is doing this all over the world, to anyone and everyone, and not doing a thing to restrain the violence, in fact they are selling their children into suicide bombing.
Well that conflict in Ireland would not have happened if not for the extreme divide between catholics and protestands. I actually heard that there are bus stops for catholics and bus stops for protestants some place in Northern Ireland. My home city in Scotland was a bit like that, but not as bad.
"It is not known who is behind the attack, but the finger of blame is pointing at the Kurdish separatist group, the PKK. However, its dispute is with the Turkish state, and it has rarely targetted civilians. Pro-PKK websites denounced the attack, and denied the group was involved." http://www.euronews.net/en/article/28/07/2008/pkk-suspected-of-fatal-istanbul-bombings/

With a Islamic connection: Libyan Arms The other source of IRA arms in the 1970s was Libya, whose leader, Muammar al-Gaddafi, sympathised with their campaign.[8] The first Libyan arms donation to the IRA occurred in 1972–1973, following visits by Joe Cahill to Libya. Cahill was arrested on board the vessel Claudia on 28 March 1973 in Irish territorial waters off the coast of County Waterford. The Claudia was found to be laden with five tonnes of Libyan arms and ammunition.[9] The weapons captured included 250 Russian made rifles, 240 other guns, anti-tank mines and other explosives. It is estimated that three shipments of weapons of similar size and makeup did get through to the IRA during the same time period.[10] Moloney reports that the early Libyan arms shipments furnished the IRA with its first RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, and that Gaddafi also donated three to five million US dollars at this time.[11] In the 1980s, the IRA secured larger quantities of weapons and explosives from Gaddafi's Libya — enough to supply at least two infantry battalions.[12] These shipments were as a direct result of Gaddafi's desire to strike at the British Government for their support and assistance during the US Air Force's bombing attacks on Tripoli and Benghazi in 1986. The USAF planes involved in the bombings had taken off from British bases on 14 April 1986. 60 Libyans died in the attack, including Gaddafi's adopted baby daughter Hanna. This second major Libyan contribution to the IRA came in 1986–1987. The arms shipments included: An AK-47 Assault Rifle (over 1000 of which were donated by Gaddafi to the IRA in the 1980s)9mm Browning, Taurus, Glock and Beretta handguns AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifles MP5 SMGs Rocket propelled grenades (RPGs) Soviet made DShK heavy machine guns (HMGs) FN MAG machine guns U.S. military flamethrowers Semtex plastic explosive SA-7 shoulderheld SAMs However, on 1 November 1987, during transit to Ireland, one third of the total Libyan arms consignment was intercepted by Irish and French authorities aboard the mV Eksund (sometimes referred to simply as Eksund), along with five crew members, among them Gabriel Cleary. The vessel was found to contain 120 tonnes of weapons, including HMGs, 36 RPGs, 1000 detonators, 20 SAMs, Semtex and 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition.[13] There were shipments before the Eksund which were not intercepted however and it was these shipments over the preceding year that drew the attention of various intelligence agencies: The Casamara took on ten tonnes of weapons in September 1985 off the Maltese island of Gozo. These weapons were landed off the Clogga Strand near Arklow later that month. The shipment contained five hundred crates of AK-47s, pistols, hand grenades, ammunition and seven RPG-7s. The vessel Dushkas left Maltese waters on 6 October 1985 carrying HMGs. These weapons were also landed in Clogga Strand. In July 1986, there was a shipment of fourteen tonnes, including, according to the authorities, two SAM-7s. In October 1986, another shipment of eighty tonnes which included one tonne of Semtex, reportedly ten SAM-7 missiles, more RPG-7s, AK-47s and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition arrived aboard the vessel Villa.[14] Subsequent Garda Síochána (Irish police) arms finds in 1988 included several hundred AK-47s, Russian DSHK HMGs, FN MAG machine guns and Semtex.[15] The author Ed Moloney claims that the Eksund shipment also contained military mortars and 106 millimetre cannon, an assertion never confirmed by the Irish authorities.[16] It is also estimated that Gaddafi gave the IRA the equivalent of £2 million along with the 1980s shipments.[15]
Spreading democracy. Heh. Now the guerillas are democratically using their funds to determine who they really want to bomb. Jesus H Christ, didn't the Americans learn anything from their mujahideen fiasco in Pakistan?
No it means Muammar al-Gaddafi. SAM you definitely have a reading comprehension problem don't you. But then Muammar al-Gaddafi, is a Moslem and in your eyes did nothing wrong in supporting the killing of Christians.
Its not 1970 anymore or haven't you noticed? The other source? We fought the British ourselves and we'd have been glad of any aid to do so.
