Where ISIS / DAESH arms come from
Turkish daily newspaper “Jomhuriet”
has released a series of images and video showing that Turkish state
intelligence agents participating in smuggling of arms across the border to
Daesh or as they are known in Europe
ISIS.
The video shows security
officials unloading a box of antibiotics, revealing large amounts of mortar
shells underneath. This is reportedly the same January 2014 incident already
reported by other news agencies as part of many testimonies in legal
proceedings.
Where the arms went once
they crossed the border has not been declared, but they were believed to have
been distributed broadly among groups of ISIS /DAESH factions, particularly ISIS groups that already control
large portions of the Turkish border.
Turkey as expected has repeatedly denied the charges, and
followed up today’s publication by announcing the newspaper that broke the
story is facing charges of “terrorism” for making the report. Prosecutors who
were pushing a case related to the weapons smuggling have similarly been
detained, by the looks of it Turkey seems determined to cover this up at all
costs.
