Turkey Puts Israeli Officers on Trial in Absentia
(Bloomberg) Selcan Hacaoglu - Turkey will try former Israeli military chiefs in absentia beginning Tuesday for ordering a raid on a Gaza-bound aid ship in 2010, publicly prolonging a dispute between the former allies. Nizar Amer, spokesman for the Israeli embassy, called the trial "a political show with no judicial credibility." Israel, which has expressed regret for the loss of lives, says activists attacked its commandos with metal rods and knives.
