U.S. Wants Control of Transportation During NATO Summit

The increased NATO presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will be discussed, along with the U.S.’s Greater Middle East Initiative. The summit will thus be a target for Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations such as DHKP-C and PKK/Congra-Gel.

According to information given by Turkish authorities, simultaneous operations conducted in Italy, Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands have resulted in the apprehension of 23 DHKP-C members abroad and 40 members locally in Turkey. It is also reported that operations against Al-Qaeda in Turkey have resulted in the uncovering of thirty radical groups associated with the organization in Turkey.
