Probe: Erdogan knew Gaza flotilla would be violent
Files found on activists’ laptops pointed to strong ties between the Islamist IHH movement and Turkey’s prime minister.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan knew in advance that activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla planned to attack Israeli troops, Israeli intelligence officials have said.
In a report published this week, a group of independent investigators from Israel’s intelligence community found that activists aboard the ‘Mavi Marmara’ were part of an organized group that was prepared for a violent conflict.
