If Kargin's suspected relationship with al-Qaida is confirmed, the police are likely to label the attackers as militants linked to al-Qaida in Turkey, said Demirel, the Turkish terrorism expert."
There was no Al Qaeda in Turkey before Bush invaded! Oh, wait. The U.S. isn't in Turkey. Never mind.

Correct! There was no Al Qaeda in Turkey. And there were none in Iraq until Bush totally destabilized the region giving them safe haven in Iraq and then pulling troops out of Afghanistan to give his family friend and fellow sheep lover Osama a safe haven there, too.
We'll see if there is an Al Qaeda involvement in this and whether there is a significant AQ presence in Turkey.

It would appear that once again, the proper use of POLICE has yielded a swifter, and safer for the population and infrastructure in general, aprehension of guilty person than would the use of a migthy army.
The article also notices that this may have been a revenge for a killed terrorist sympatiser in Afganistan. Violence creates violence. I'm not debating justification here, just noting possible consequences of one action, leading to another.
It would seem that there are some lessons here to be had, as with many other instances, if one would look at the situation with clear lenses, devoid of blue or red tinting.
