Given the support that Turkey has given to ISIS, it doesn't seem a logical thing to do. Do you think thet the attack was Western generated to push Turkey to close borders with Syria?
ISIS ? Wow what a surprise! It is terribly sad that so many innocents have to suffer for the ideology of a twisted belief. But, let's bring it on home, just for a moment.
Probably was isis but authorities don't know for sure. There are similarities between this attack and others that isis did. But don't know that there is more evidence yet. And isis hasn't claimed the attack. But can't see it being the kurds. They mostly attack turkish police or army. And this probably hurt them by giving an excuse for the government to be tougher on everyone they don't like.
I think that ISIS has claimed responsibility, but let's leave that aside and ask the basic question (bolded above).
Doesn't seem logical? On the contrary. Say you partnered with a terrorist, did some things he wanted, he did some things you wanted. After a while, you try something a bit independent. Guess what? He gives you a taste of what happens if you stray too far. Think of it as wife beating.
That's what a wife beater DOES, he beats his wife.
And terror is what ISIS DOES. Of course they have to keep their ally Turkey in line. And they need to move Turkey further in line, until finally, Turkey isn't even Turkey any more.
That's my opinion, that it seems totally logical.
