米WP:イスタンブール爆発事件表紙の見出しは「英」が攻撃目標なり。
バッキンガム宮殿に響く時点で起きたわけであり、昨日の以下のわが警告が、またしても即座に、不気味にも、的中したがごとくである。要警戒!

【米英イスラエル危機の裏の裏を読む警告の主眼は偶像の破壊でホロコーストの嘘の大々的暴露なり】
[中略]
今は戦争の真っ最中なのである。ブッシュ・ブレア・シャロン、この、このお、ざまあ見ろ!てなあ、軽薄な歓喜の声を挙げていれば、それで済むものではない。
危機の裏の裏を読むべきである。大日本帝国とやらも、危機に直面する度に、居直り、戦火を拡大し、危機を背景にして特攻隊までをば生み出し、ついに大破局を迎えたのである。
[中略]
以後の問題点の中心は、イラク米軍が危機に陥ったり、自作自演の謀略で、イスラエルが「友軍救出」の正義の御旗を翻し、「テロリストへの総攻撃」を開始する可能性である。

Series of Bombs Rocks Downtown Istanbul
At Least 27 Killed, More Than 450 Injured

ISTANBUL, Nov. 20--Two powerful explosions, five minutes apart, ripped through Istanbul Thursday, killing at least 27 and injuring more than 450. The targets included the British consulate and a British bank.
Among the dead was Britain's consul-general, Roger Short, according to Britain's foreign office. He was one of 14 killed at the consulate, BBC News reported.
Neighborhoods near the bank and consulate -- separated by about five miles -- were devastated, with whole blocks reduced to rubble and ashes.
Britain is the chief U.S. ally in the war in Iraq. The blasts came as President Bush was preparing to meet in London with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. At a news conference called initially to summarize their talks, the two men stood side-by-side in anger.
"The nature of the terrorist enemy is evident once again," Bush said. "They hope to intimidate. They hope to demoralize. . . . They're not going to succeed."
Blair called the Istanbul terrorists "callous, brutal, murderers of the innocent. . . . There should be no holding back, no compromise, no hesitation in confronting this menace."
Turkish Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu said vans packed with explosives caused the two blasts. In televised remarks, Aksu said, "These were probably suicide attacks." He added that they closely resembled twin suicide bomb attacks on two synagogues on Saturday in Istanbul.
The HSBC Bank, a British institution and one of the world's largest banks, took the first and heaviest blow. Witnesses said the blast appeared to originate in a vehicle stopped at a light near the bank.
The front of the high rise bank was shredded. Windows were shattered in buildings and shops for blocks nearby. Cars, trucks and vans by the dozen caught fire and remained smoking in the streets for a hour after the blast, which occurred at about 10:50 a.m. local time (3:50 a.m. EST).
Pedestrians moved through the streets in a daze, their hands and faces covered with blood. Body parts were strewn on the streets and sidewalks. Smoke billowed up from a nearby subway station and there were fears that people were trapped down below.
The British consulate is located in the Taksim district -- the heart of Istanbul's old commercial center and tourist district. Its narrow streets are crowded with souvenir markets. But its also been the scene in recent years of numerous smaller terrorist attacks, specifically by Kurdish rebel terrorist organizations.
The U.S. consulate moved away from the district because of security concerns.
Witnesses said a green vehicle crashed into a thick wall in front of the heavily guarded British consulate, apparently setting of the explosives.
Authorities said the blast, like the Saturday attacks on synagogues here that killed 23 and injured 300, occurred within five minutes of one another.
At the Taksim Ilk Yod Hospital, which was accepting the most casualties, there were 12 dead including two police officers. The wounded wandered hospital hallways, seeking treatment. Near them, sobbing, crying friends and relatives ran their fingers down lists of injured.
Turkey, a secular Muslim nation, has stronger ties with the United States and Israel than any other Muslim nation. Many Turkish political analysts said those relations made Turkey a particularly vulnerable target for extremist Islamic organizations.
A man calling the Anatolia news agency said that al Qaeda and the militant Islamic Great Eastern Raiders' Front, or IBDA-C, jointly claimed responsibility for attacks. But authorities in Turkey and in Washington said they could not confirm the authenticity of the claims.
It was the worst single-day toll from terrorism in Turkey since 1977, when gunmen opened fire on leftists celebrating May Day, killing 37 people.
On Wednesday, authorities arrested six people in connection with the synagogue bombings. A Turkish court charged five with "attempting to overthrow the constitutional structure," which carries a sentence of life imprisonment. A sixth person was charged with "helping illegal organizations," punishable by five years in prison, Anatolia said.
No trial date has been set.
Two suicide attackers, both Turks, blew up pickup trucks outside the synagogues on Saturday. Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said the two had visited Afghanistan in the past and that investigators were looking for any al Qaeda links.
On Sunday, the al Qaeda terror network claimed responsibility for the bombings in messages to two Arabic-language newspapers, but it was not possible to authenticate those claims either. The outlawed Turkish radical group IBDA-C also claimed responsibility for those bombings, but Turkish authorities said the attack was too sophisticated to be carried out by that group.
