Selçuk, Perinçek and Alemdaroglu in custody over Ergenekon avi
Two senior officials of a Turkish political party, a former university rector and the chief columnist of a daily newspaper -- all known for their neo-nationalism and ultra-secularism -- were taken into custody early on Friday morning over alleged links to a criminal network with suspected links to the army and bureaucracy.
Workers Party (IP) Chairman Dogu Perinçek, IP Secretary-General Ferit Ilsever and Cumhuriyet daily chief columnist Ilhan Selçuk, as well as a former Istanbul University rector, Kemal Alemdaroglu were detained as part of an investigation into a criminal network that calls itself Ergenekon, after a legend of how Turks came into being.
The ongoing investigation had previously uncovered evidence showing that the gang was attempting to prepare the ground for a coup d'état in Turkiye in 2009. Ergenekon is suspected of shady links to groups hidden within the state. These groups are commonly referred to as Turkiye's "deep state," a vague concept of a phenomenon in which individuals and groups occupying various positions in the state take justice into their own hands to shape Turkiye in accordance with their political convictions.
The arrests come at a time when allegations have been made that a recent closure case against the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) was filed with the Constitutional Court to prevent further development of the Ergenekon investigation.
The police have also raided the offices of TV station Ulusal Kanal (National Channel) and the Aydinlik newsweekly.
The arrests follow the interrogation on Wednesday of Sedat Peker -- an ultranationalist underworld leader currently serving 14 years in prison for involvement in organized crime -- over his alleged links to the Ergenekon gang. Suspects of the 1996 Susurluk affair Yasar Öz and Semih Tufan Gülaltay were also interrogated by the prosecutor on Wednesday as part of the same investigation.
In January 39 suspects were arrested during raids targeting the gang, including retired Gen. Veli Küçük, nationalist lawyer Kemal Kerinçsiz, academic Emin Gürses and press speaker of the so-called "Turkish Orthodox Patriarchate."

Rockets from Lebanon to Israel
Hezbullah attacks Israel, or just an israeli joke!!!
subject: rockets from Lebanon to Israel
13 days after Gaza attacks, almojahidin has fired rockets into north of Israel just one day after the big crime done by israel when bombarding the UN school.
These Rockets left four people injureds as retaliation for the killing of 710 palestinians by the Israeli army in gaza almost from them were civilians and polices.
The attack is a challenge to mojahidin in south lebanon, which has pledged to enforce israel to declare alarm in the north cities.
Hezbullah has confirmed that it doesn't have any relation with this attack; but it comes one day after its president hassan nassr allah has said that they are ready to make down israel in any time. And he sais that hamas will win the war.
Some people think that israel has relation with this event just for have a cause to attack lebanon and hezbullah also like done to hamas.
On the ather hand we know that the jews can kill every one just for get a political success like done with jesus. So israel has confirmed that these rockets aren't from hezbullah that's mean one of those two possibilty:
1- Israel is afraid of Hezbullah
2- Israel is responsible of these rockets.

Truth Is Finally Revealed
What's really going on in Gaza, with Israel and America? Here's a hint...
The political death threats made against Bush, Cheney, Rice, and Wolfowitz that were edited out of the TV version of Amen "Coma Amerikkka" by the Clear Channel Network and IFC. I worked as an intern for the show and I will never forget what these guys (Casey Chaos and Amen) were doing live on set, it sent chills up my spine. Check out the Saadam Hussein-era Iraq flag as their backdrop. It was December 2006, right when everyone was still pro-invasion, kill the enemy (Bin Laden, who??) They are the real true rock revolution!
