Wo wir schon über die Unterstützung des terrors durch den Iran im Thread "Iran steht kurz vor der Atombombe" diskuttieren, ich habe einen interessanten Artikel im Web gefunden über die Verbindungen des Irans zur türkischen Hizbollah. Im Iran sollen 500 - 600 Anhänger der türkischen Hizbollah ausgebildet worden sein.

IMPLICATIONS OF TURKEY'S ANTI-HIZBULLAH OPERATION

By Ersel Aydinli


The recent crackdown on "Turkish Hizbullah" has led to turmoil among Turkey's Islamists. Rather than provoking widespread fears of increased terrorism, the unveiling of a Hizbullah threat has created a context for another confrontation between the Turkish army and Turkey's legal pro-Islamist party, Fazilet. This clash has cast a political shadow on an upcoming court ruling on the Fazilet Party's (FP's) legitimacy, with possible implications for Turkey's European Union (EU) membership bid.


What is Turkish Hizbullah? An on-going police operation over the last two weeks has resulted in the capture of several high-level members of the Turkish Hizbullah, and the death of their leader, Huseyin Velioglu. Although the operation appeared to occur out of the blue, major anti-Hizbullah operations actually date back to 1998, when seventy-nine members were arrested. Turkish Hizbullah reportedly aimed to create an independent Kurdish Islamist state in the southeast of Turkey, using mosques as sites for organization and recruitment, while maintaining safehouses throughout the country for the purposes of interrogation, executions, and burying of victims. In these houses, the bodies of victims who were buried alive after being gruesomely tortured have been found. To date, more than sixty of these bodies have been recovered, with hundreds more expected.
