Iran sends terror teams into Turkey
by REZA KAHLILI September 9, 2012
Members of the Quds Forces' elite Unit 400 have been activated inside Turkey to attack U.S. and Israeli interests and to support the Kurdish separatist movement PKK with violence as needed.
A source within the Revolutionary Guards confirmed the presence of the Iranian assets in Turkey as Iran increases pressure on the Turkish government to stop its support of the rebels against Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
The assets are to attack Western interests in Turkey should war break out against either Syria or Iran and at the same time work to destabilize Turkey as a warning for it not to interfere in Syria's affairs.
Iranian leaders have continuously warned Turkey, Saudi Arabia and even America about any interference in Syria, that Assad's regime is their red line.
According to the Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman, an Iranian spy was arrested on Sept. 1 while collaborating with the Kurdish separatists. In the ensuing investigation, he confessed to being an Iranian operative within the Revolutionary Guards.
The same paper revealed recently that nine spies have been arrested in Turkey, two of them Iranian nationals and the other seven of Turkish descent. The spies provided information on Iranian contacts with the PKK fighters and their mission in identifying strategic targets within Turkey.
At one time Iran and Turkey collaborated in fending off attacks by the Kurdish separatists both in Turkey and Iran, but now Iran, in order to destabilize Turkey, reportedly is supporting PKK guerrilla attacks inside Turkey.
During the last month, PKK fighters have attacked a military convoy and a police station, set off bombs and kidnapped Turks to create an environment similar to Syria's.
According to a report Monday in the German newspaper Die Welt, the Iranian regime has sent more than 100 spies into Turkey since March and has facilitated PKK fighters with their intrusion into Turkey from within Iran.

May 24, 2013 04:39 PM
Remember last week, when Eric Holder insisted under oath that he had not personally been aware of any efforts by the DOJ to target journalists?

Down and out in LA: Outgoing Mayor Villaraigosa tries hand at hitchhiking [photo]
May 24, 2013 02:40 PM
It’s come to this. As Twitchy reported, outgoing LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has seen better days. But, rather than keeping a low profile and trying to get back on track, he’s milking his desperation for laughs. Or something. We’re not really sure. Take a look for yourself: Mayor who has no car hitching a ride […]
Shorter David Axelrod: That Washington state bridge? The GOP collapsed that
May 24, 2013 02:03 PM
It took less than an hour for breathless libs to find a pitifully stupid way to blame the GOP for the Washington state bridge collapse. Obama henchman David Axelrod is a little slow, but half a day later, he is so on it. Collapse of bridge in WA underscores urgent need for infrastructure investments. Will latest […]
