Was Reyhanli attacked to oust Turkish spy chief?
Leaked court documents about the worst terror attack in Turkey have revealed that Turkish security forces failed to act on 13 official warnings from the intelligence service.
Twin car bombs took 53 lives in the border town of Reyhanli on May 11, 2013, in Turkey's deadliest ever attack against civilians. More than 100 people were injured and hundreds of buildings and cars destroyed. The ensuing public outcry was suppressed through a media gag order on reporting and commenting on the issue.
Two years after the attack, it was understood that Reyhanli was only a part of a series of complicated events that can be attributed to the battle between the movement of Fethullah Gulen and the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government. At the center of the storm lies Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT).
