The public prosecutor's office in Adana is seeking life sentences for 13 gendarmes who on Jan. 19 stopped, searched, and filmed the contents of trucks that reportedly were carrying arms into Syria. A similar incident, allegedly involving the Humanitarian Aid Foundation (İHH), also occurred on Jan. 1 in Hatay. The government has already removed the prosecutor, police chiefs, and gendarmerie commander involved in the search of the cargo, which top officials at the time called a "state secret." The İHH said Syrian warplanes hit two of its trucks in Aleppo today, killing a Syrian worker and injuring two others; the Young Muslims Delegation, an İHH partner in Syria, was also involved in the humanitarian mission.
