Turkey

Turkish media reported that Abd El Basset Azzouz, a senior al Qaeda leader in Libya and suspect in the 2012 murder of US Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi, was seized in a joint CIA-Turkish raid in Yalova on Nov. 13. Azzouz was reportedly moved to Jordan on Nov. 24 for extradition to the US. Thirteen members of the Turkish Youth Union were indicted for assaulting US sailors on Nov. 12. The US Embassy warned yesterday of reports that “extremist groups” might be planning to attack the Syrian Interim Government building in Gaziantep.
