Syria Denies Responsibility for Reyhanli Blasts
 
Local Editor
Syrian Information Minister Omran al-ZoabiDamascus on Sunday denied Turkish accusations that  it was behind twin car bomb attacks that left at least 46 people dead in a Turkish town near the Syrian border, as Ankara arrested nine people in the probe.

"Syria did not commit and would never commit such an act because our values would not allow that," Information Minister Omran al-Zoabi said at a press conference broadcast by state television.
"It is (Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip) Erdogan who should be asked about this act... He and his party bear direct responsibility," Zoabi added.

On Saturday, Turkey's Interior Minister Moammar Guler said the government had identified the attackers.

"We have established that they are linked to groups supporting the Syrian regime and its intelligence services," he told national TRT television.

Nine people were arrested following the blasts. Top Turkish government officials, including Prime Minister Erdogan, were quick to place the blame with Syria, despite lacking any evidence at the time.
Saturday’s twin car bombs exploded outside the city hall and post office, killing 46 and injuring a further hundred people and destroying local buildings in the country’s deadliest attack in more than a decade. Around 50 other people are still being treated in hospitals.

Bombs Kill Dozens in Reyhanli Turkish Town near Syrian Border
 
Local Editor

Two powerful car bombs killed at least 43 people in a town near Turkey’s border with Syria on Saturday in one of the deadliest attacks on Turkish soil in at least a decade, with Ankara vowing to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Rescuers have begun the search for possible survivors buried underneath the rubble of buildings destroyed by the blasts on Saturday in Reyhanli, one of the main Turkish hubs for Syrian refugees and militiamen.

Turkey: attacks in Reyhanli; May 11, 2013Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay confirmed that the twin blasts had killed at least 43 people and wounded 100 more, many of whom were said to be in critical condition.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attacks, which came 15 minutes and barely a mile apart. Hours later, Turkish officials, including Interior Minister Moammar Guler, blamed the attack on an organization linked to Syria’s intelligence services, though they did not name the organization or the suspects, or provide a detailed explanation of how they reached that conclusion.

Atalay said the perpetrators of Saturday's attacks did not appear to have crossed into Turkey from Syria but were already in the country.

One of the bombs left a crater by Reyhanli’s yellow municipal headquarters, blasting out its windows and leaving files on aluminum shelves visible from the street. A nearby row of buildings, where apartments sat above stores, was destroyed.

The second bomb appeared to have been far more powerful, sheering the facade off office towers in downtown Reyhanli and sending the burned shells of cars and motorcycles crashing into stores.
After the bombings on Saturday, angry residents smashed the windows of cars from Syria, and a Turkish newspaper reported that protests against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan later erupted in Reyhanli’s streets.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, on a visit to Berlin, said it was "not a coincidence" that the bombings occurred as international diplomatic efforts to solve the Syrian crisis were intensifying.
The attack on Saturday occurred as Erdogan was scheduled to visit Washington this week to meet US President Barack Obama and discuss the urgency for a resolution of the conflict in Syria. Secretary of State John Kerry released a statement condemning the bombings and praising Turkey’s role as a “vital interlocutor.”

Erdogan also made a reference to the conflict in Syria, and raised the possibility that the attack was linked to his government’s talks with the P.K.K., the Kurdish separatist group, to end three decades of armed conflict.

The United States and Russia pledged this week to relaunch efforts to solve the conflict, which the United Nations estimates has killed 70,000 people since March 2011.

Around Reyhanli, some 25,000 Syrian refugees live among 90,000 Turkish citizens, according to local officials.

انفجار ثالث بتركيا" ..اكثر من 40 قتيلا و100 جريح في انفجارات الريحانية.. واتهامات تركية لسورية!! "صور + فيديو"

في خبر جديد  نقلت "أ ف ب" حدوث  انفجار ثالث بمدينة الريحانية التركية، و نقلت قناة "NTV" التركية عن وزير الداخلية التركي معمر غولر قوله يوم السبت 11 ايار ان حصيلة القتلى في انفجارات الريحانية (بولاية هاتاي) وصلت الى 40 شخصا والجرحى الى اكثر من 100.
التفاصيل


 

 

الأتراك يدمرون ممتلكات السوريين انتقاما للتفجيرات ، وحكومتهم تلمح إلى تورط جهة كردية في التفجيرات ، لكنها لا تستبعد ارتباط التفجيرات بالأزمة السورية أنطاكيا ،



أنطاكيا ، الحقيقة ( + وسائل إعلام تركية): وقع قبل قليل انفجار آخر في بلدة "الريحانة السورية المحتلة في لواء اسكندرونة المحتل ، وهو الانفجار الثالث من نوعه في غضون أقل من ثلاث ساعات . وتقع البلدة على بعد أقل من 3 كم  من الحدود مع  محافظة إدلب السورية .وقالت الأنباء الأولية إن العشرات من أهالي المنطقة سقطوا بين قتيل وجريح نتيجة للانفجارات الناجمة كما يبدو عن سيارات مفخخة. وأظهر شريط ( منشور أعلاه) حجم الدمار الذي خلفه الانفجار الأول في منطقة سكنية ـ تجارية في البلدة. ونقل التلفزيون التركي عن رئيس الوزراء رجب طيب أردوغان قوله "إن الهجمات أودت بحياة 40 شخصا على الأقل"، وأضاف" نحن نمر في أوقات حساسة ، فقد بدأنا عهدا جديدا من عملية السلام وحل القضية الكردية، وهؤلاء الذين لا يستطيعون استيعاب العهد الجديد يمكن أن يقدموا على مثل هذه الأفعال"، في اتهام غير مباشر منه لأحد أجنحة حزب العمال الكردستاني، الذي كان زعيمه عبد الله أوجلان أبرم اتفاقا مع المخابرات التركية في سجنه يقضي بترحيل مسلحيه إلى سوريا وشمال العراق ، والمساهمة المسلحة في مهاجمة الجيش السوري والمصالح السورية إلى جانب المجموعات المسلحة الأخرى. لكن أردوغان لم يبعد الشبهة عن النظام السوري، حيث أشار إلى "قضية حساسة أخرى قريبة من الحدود"، في إشارة منه إلى سوريا والصراع الذي تورطت فيه بلاده في العمق، أمنيا وعسكريا وسياسيا.
 
أما نائب رئيس الوزراء التركي بولنت آرينج فقال من ناحيته إن النظام السوري "مشتبه طبيعي به" في انفجارات السيارات الملغومة في تركيا التي قتلت 40 شخصا واصابت أكثر من 100 بجراح يوم السبت.وقال آرينج أيضا للصحفيين في تعليقات أذيعت على الهواء مباشرة "ان تركيا يجب ان تنتظر نتائج تحقيق في الأمر قبل ان تحدد أي رد". أما "الثوار" السوريون المقيمون في المنطقة، وجريا على "الهبل" الذي تميزوا به وأصبحوا بفضله كركوزات مثيرة للضحك والسخرية، فأخذوا يصيحون ( كما يبدو في الشريط) متهمين النظام السوري بـ"قصف الريحانة / ريحنلي" بالمدفعية والصواريخ!!
وفور حصول الانفجارات، قام الأتراك بعملية تدمير وتكسير لسيارات وممتلكات المواطنين السوريين، سواء منهم العرب السوريون الواقعون تحت الاحتلال أو اللاجئون . علما بأن البلدة تضم مخيما للاجئين السوريين هو الأكبر في تركيا،إذ يأوي عشرات الألوف منهم.

Turkish Interior Minister Muammer Guler said number of people killed in Reyhanli blasts rises to 18, Anadolu news agency reported.

The blasts took place in Turkey's Reyhanli town of the southern province of Hatay on Saturday, near the border with Syria.

Turkey: attacks in Reyhanli; May 11, 2013Initial reports said that many casualties were taken to nearby hospitals by ambulance, according to a local newspaper. Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said at least 15 ambulances rushed to the scene to help the injured, Associated Press reported.

Search and rescue operations are underway in the southern town of Reyhanli on Saturday to save individuals who may be under rubble following two separate blasts earlier in the day.
At least eight motor vehicles and a large number of buildings have been destroyed as a result of the blasts.

It remains unclear how many explosions took place with conflicting reports of two and four blasts emerging, Al-Manar correspondent reported.

However, two vehicles packed with explosives blew up near the town hall and the post office in Reyhanli, Anatolia news agency quoted Guler as saying.

Reyhanli, a town of about 60,000 in Hatay Province, has come under attack several times in recent months. In February, a mortar round landed near the border, killing 13 and injuring 33.
