Anschlag auf Solidaritätsbrigaden für Kobani. Dutzende Tote und Verletzte. »Islamischer Staat« hinter Attacke vermutet

How and why did the Suruç massacre happen?
We should ask the following questions with regards to the attack:
1- Police comprehensively searched the youth as they were heading to Amara Cultural Center. The police checkpoint was 200 meters away from Amara, and the police could have set up the checkpoint nearer to the cultural center. Did the police set up the checkpoint 200 meters away from Amara so that they would not get hurt by the explosion?
2- How did the ISIS suicide bomber enter the cultural center in an environment where the police searched each notebook, camera and even pencil on the slaughtered youth?
3- How did the Turkish intelligence, that surveils everywhere in Suruç including the Mürşitpınar Border Gate, manage to not see the ISIS member?
4- How is it possible for the police to not identify the ISIS member despite the fact that Amara Cultural Center is located next to a police station?
5- Why did the police attack civilians who were carrying the injured people to the hospital? Is it because they wanted the wounded people to die as well?
6- How many ISIS cells exist in and around Suruç? Is the state aware of these cells?
7- Why were the bodies examined in Antep Forensics as opposed to Urfa Forensics? What were they trying to hide?
8- There are witness statements claiming that there were two attackers, one man exploding the bomb and one women getting injured, and the injured women is under police custody currently. Who is the woman attacker, born in 1995 in Sivas, who is being held under police custody? Why do the officials fail to make a statement on this issue?
The respondent of these questions is the state, and the questions answers are obvious.

Nach aktueller Meldung wurde heute ein Offizier der türkischen Armee bei Gefechten mit dem IS an der Grenze zu Syrien erschossen. Das Feuer soll von syrischer Seite aus eröffnet worden sein. Somit könnte die AKP ihren lang ersehnten Kriegsgrund haben. Erdogan spricht schon lange von einer militärischen Pufferzone im Norden Syriens zum Schutze der Türkei, dies würde einen aktiven Eingriff und Angriff auf die Selbstverwaltung in Rojava bedeuten.
