Terrorist Attack Linked To Turkey’s Syria Policies

Footage from a video obtained by Reuters shows a man identified as al
Qaeda spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith speaking into a camera, warning
American Muslims and opponents of American policy not to fly in

Ankara’da ABD Büyükelçiliği’ne karşı girişilen canlı bomba eyleminin arkasında kim vardı? Ve, eylem ne anlatıyordu?

Bu konuda vakit geçirmeksizin Türkiye’nin “siyaset doktorları” sayılan gazete köşe yazarları ve televizyon yorumcuları “teşhis koymaya”, yani yoruma giriştiler. Onlar ve benzeri durumlarda ekranları birdenbire işgal etmeye başlayan, nereden ve neden öyle oldukları pek bilinmese de, televizyon anchorlarının tanıtımıyla “terör uzmanları”.

Olayın faili 40 yaşındaki canlı bombanın kimliği belirlenir belirlenmez ve olayın üzerinden 24 saat geçmeden DHKP-C (Devrimci Halk Kurtuluş Partisi-Cephesi) adıyla bilinen örgüt, “Ülkemizin topraklarını işgal eden Amerikan emperyalizmine karşı” diye nitelediği eylemin sorumluluğunu üstlenince, köşe yazarları ve “terör uzmanları”nın da işi kolaylaştı.

Canlı bombanın ve mensup olduğu örgütün kimliğine bakarak, “terör eylemi”nin açıklamasını yaptılar. Yaptılar ama canlı bombanın Wernicke Korsakoff sendromu adlı bir hastalığa tutulmuş olduğundan söz etseler de, bu hastalığı kaptığı olaya, geçmişe pek başvurmadılar.
