Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi y'all, A few folks folks asked me off line about the final results of the below. Turned out that an unknown group placed a relatively small bomb at an ATM machine of the bank two doors down from us. It was discovered by a Beat Cop (the best kind .. they know the area) who called it in and secured the scene. The Turkish Police Bomb Squad cordoned off the area removed the bomb.. placed it in the center of the road .. covered it with a protective device and detonated it with no injuries or damage. No group has claimed responsibility and likely it is that they won't because unlike an attack against a Western facility, its not the type of thing that wins hearts and minds. Obviously, the bomb was intended to be a nuisance and embarrassment to the government rather than a killer because there are numerous kebab restaurants on the street and placement in any of them would have taken lives. Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch > Was gonna send this earlier but we had some interesting happenings in > these parts. We're 7 hours ahead and 25 years behind the East Coast > USA. Tonight at 1910 (7:10 PM for some folks) police covered and then > detonated a bomb on the street exactly below our 6th floor apartment .. > they cordoned off the area for a hundred meters or so in each direction > afore that but we had no advance knowledge that they were gonna blow it > till the damn thing went BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
