ISIL storms Turkey's Mosul consulate, 'takes diplomats captive'​

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which continued its offensive in northern Iraq on June 11, has stormed the Turkish Consulate in Mosul, according to media reports.

Unnamed Turkish government sources confirmed Reuters that militants raided and seized the consulate.

Al Jazeera Turkish, on the other hand, reported that militants took diplomats hostage and brought them to the ISIL headquarters in the city.

A Turkish Foreign Ministry official has said the reports "have yet to be confirmed, but they are looking into them," according to private broadcaster CNN Türk.

Meanwhile, 32 Turkish truck drivers remain as hostages of ISIL, which has sprung from the country's second-largest city to other Iraqi provinces, including Saladin.

why are they attacking turkey??

ISIL is the exact same ideology as TTP

they believe Turkey is murtad kafir helper of kufr

they have beheaded turks in the past, and they will not hesitate to do it again in Iraq, just as they do in Pakistan

ISIL is the partner of Maliki and Bashaar. They use it to control Sunni areas in Syria and Iraq. TTP is used by the west and enemies of Islam to damage Pakistan and Afghanistan

they were definitely pulled out by Maliki, to allow his proxy ISIL / ISIS to take over

Where are the Iraqi security forces?

Maliki pulled them out, so that ISIL can move in. This is the same game he is playing like Bashaar is playing in Syria

Why did they refused?

 

[mandrom]

Like many warned that the islamists that turkey sponsors will turn against them. Its started. Turkey will suffer strongly for having supported islamists in syria.

Turkey isnt supporting islamists in Syria or Iraq, it's the FSA you mean and they are fundementally not islamists.
