Russian Ambassador to Turkey Assinated

[Dashinka 23,235]

ISTANBULA gunman assassinated Russias ambassador to Turkey during a gallery opening in the capital, an act that Russian officials called an act of terror and that appeared to be aimed as retribution for the Kremlins role in bloodshed in neighboring Syria.

A video taken of the event shows Ambassador Andrey Karlov at the podium surrounded by framed artwork and then flinching when the sound of two gunshots are fired. The video then shows a Turkish-speaking gunman, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, yelling as he walked around the body of the ambassador splayed motionless on the floor.

Dont forget Aleppo, dont forget Syria. Until our regions are safe, you wont have safety. Go Back! Go Back! Only death can take me from here, shouted the assassin, who walks around holding the pistol toward the assembled crowd of onlookers. Those who have a part in this atrocity will all pay for it, one by one.

A senior Turkish official identified the gunman as Turkish police officer Mert Altinbas, who graduated from the police academy in 2014.

Hasim Kilic, an Ankara reporter for Hurriyet newspaper who was at the event, said during a live broadcast on CNN Turk that there were dozens of rounds of gunfire after the Russian ambassador was shot. Other security officials at the gallery appeared to have gunned down the assassin and Turkeys state news agency Anadolu reported that he had been rendered ineffective.

Russian forces have supported Syrian government and helped forces serving Syrian President Bashar al-Assads regime take the city of Aleppo in recent weeks. A cease-fire deal brokered by Russia and Turkey helped clear the way for the continuing evacuation of rebel-held areas of the city.

I thought Putin had struck too much fear into the hearts of Islamic Terrorists for something like this to happen? Sad and strange.

Perhaps Putin thought it was time for this Comrade to go. One is only useful so long, when it's for the long game greater good.
