excerpts from: Istanbul palace shooter attempted ‘Norway-like massacre’
Today's Zaman (*), 2 December 2011
| Quote: | A Libyan gunman who wounded two people at a popular Istanbul tourist attraction had attempted to carry out a massacre in the Ottoman-era Topkapı Palace, news reports said on Friday.
The gunman, identified as 36-year-old Samir Salem Ali Elmadhavri, wounded a soldier and a private security guard before police snipers killed him. [...]
News reports said he shouted, “This will be a massacre like in Norway,” [...]
Private NTV news stations said the man, who arrived at the scene in a car with a Syrian license plate, shouted in English. [...]
His attack came on the same day as Turkey announced sanctions on the Syrian regime to pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to stop a bloody crackdown on anti-regime protests. |
