So many bodies, so much horror in the dust of Turkey's nightmare

Article Abstract:

The bodies of victims of the Turkish earthquake arrive at the mortuary in trucks that are usually used for transporting food. The bodies may arrive intact, or in pieces. Death certificates are needed for burial of the bodies, and this means that the victims have to be identified by visiting the mortuary. Turkish civil society and means to tackle the crisis do not exist, according to a journalist. There have been attacks on offices of construction companies deemed to be responsible for buildings collapsing and killing people.

Psychopathic killer who is great hope of a nation

Article Abstract:

The seizure of Abdullah Ocalan, the most radical Kurdish leader, is likely to prompt a great deal of violence. It also highlights issues relating to the policies of the US towards the Kurds, the world's largest stateless people. The US has in effect imposed a death sentence on Ocalan by calling for him to be extradited to Turkey, as it knew that Turkey would demand capital punishment. This makes the situation in Turkey, which has become one of the closest allies of the US in the Middle East, very unstable.

15 Uzicka Street: home to Tito and Milosevic, 'legitimate' target for Nato

Article Abstract:

A Nato laser-guided bomb has caused extensive damage to the home of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. This building, where former President Tito also lived, was claimed by Nato to be a command and control centre, and therefore a legitimate military target. However, others have interpreted the attack as an attempt to assassinate Milosevic. Earlier cruise missile attacks on his party headquarters had made Milosevic aware that it would not be wise to remain in his home at present.
