Title: Turkey finds large bomb near route of presidential convoy Post by: Shammu on September 14, 2007, 02:32:56 AM Turkey finds large bomb near route of presidential convoy
ANKARA — Turkey has been on high alert after the discovery of an apparent Al Qaida attempt to kill the nation's political leadership. Turkish sources said a 300-kilogram bomb was found under a mini-bus in Ankara's commercial district on Sept. 10, Middle East Newsline reported. Security agents assumed it was intended for a convoy that included Prime Minister Recep Erdogan. The sources said the bomb, located several hundred meters from the government complex, was the biggest seen in Turkey in years. They said Erdogan was moved from his office to his home under heavy security. "I do not even want to think about what would have happened if the attack had succeeded," Onal said. "We were spared the district a great catastrophe," Ankara Gov. Kemal Onal said on Tuesday. The sources said Turkish authorities have concluded that the attempted bombing was the work of Al Qaida. They said Al Qaida was probably aided by Turkish operatives. "There were warnings that Turkey would be the target of a 9/11 attack," a Turkish security source, referring to the Al Qaida suicide air strikes on the United States in 2001, said. "The bomb we found could have killed hundreds of people." In 2003, 58 people were killed in Al Qaida truck bombings in Istanbul. Last year, Turkey foiled another major Al Qaida bombing plot.

So Al Qaida could go to a radical islamic rule. This would fall into prophecy, of Ezekiel.
Turkey's ancient name in the Bible is Meshech and Tubal. Ezekiel 38:2-4 Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of [a]Magog, the prince of Rosh, of Meshech, and of Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince (ruler) of Rosh, of Meshech, and of Tubal. 4 And I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords |
