US: Turkey a sample country in struggle against terror

WASHINGTON (AA) – US Secretary of State Rumsfeld praised on Wednesday Turkey saying that the country was sample in struggle against terrorism and he added that the Istanbul bombings joined the Turks.

Delivering a speech at the commission which was established to investigate September 11 attacks, Rumsfeld stated that Turkey was a good sample in struggle against terrorism.

He reiterated that the attacks on Spain was a kind of Europe’s September 11 and added, "I am sure that these attacks will backfire as it happened in other places. For example, Istanbul bombings joined the Turks rather than dividing them."
