Israeli General Reveals Al-Qaeda Bases in Turkey
(Al Arabiya) Al-Qaeda militants fighting in Syria have set up bases in Turkey, where they can also easily access Europe, Israel's military intelligence chief said Wednesday. Al-Qaeda fighters from around the world enter Syria weekly, but they "do not stay there," Maj.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi told the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv, while presenting a map of the Middle East marked with areas of al-Qaeda presence. The map showed three al-Qaeda bases in the Turkish provinces of Karaman, Osmaniye and Sanliurfa.
