Oxford Student: 27th November 2003: Devil's 'Gift' for Turkey: "Why Turkey then? On 5 December 2002, Al-Qaeda posted a statement on the Internet threatening attacks against US allies. Apparently it has taken almost one year for the global network of radical Islamists to organize such a disastrous crime in Turkey, the so-called 'soft target'. The statement said, 'a gift of terror is on its way'. Many would consider that the delivery of Turkey's 'gift' was belated in the wake of earlier Al-Qaeda statements. Their emphasis was put on the joint 'Jewish-Crusader aggression' and those who took the Jews and the Christians for their friends and protectors. On October 2001 Al-Qaeda stated that, 'they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them is of them'. Turkey was somehow fitting this profile." article by Gökhan Yücel, President of Oxford University Turkish Society
