He didn’t say which nation’s intelligence organization was cooperating with the Islamic State. But there are many, many possible candidates.
“Istanbul nightclub attack involved an intelligence organization: deputy PM,” Reuters, January 16, 2017:
The mass shooting at an Istanbul nightclub on New Year’s Eve was carried out professionally with the involvement of an intelligence organization, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said on Monday.
“It appears the Reina attack is not just a terrorist organization’s act, but there was also an intelligence organization involved. It was an extremely planned and organized act,” Kurtulmus said during an interview with broadcaster A Haber.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack in which 39 people were killed, saying it was revenge for Turkish military involvement in Syria.

Gee, I wonder which state’s intelligence organization that might be. Could it be the US in concert with Fethullah Gulen and funded by the Clinton Foundation, John McCain, and George Soros?
john spielman says
NO, he was funded by ERDOGAN HIMSELF AND THE TURKISH govt!
EmHotep says
Intelligence and Anti-Terrorism Branch teams claimed the suspects who stayed together in a cell house in Konya with the terrorist who carried out the attack in Ortaköy and they are in touch with the commander of ISIS Istanbul who is still in custody. The HTS records obtained from phone talks are seen as strong evidence that these suspects are in communicating with so-called emirate, taking part in the same cell organization with the terrorist code “Ebu Muhammed El Khorasani” who carried out the attack in Ortaköy. The teams that deepen the investigation in this direction.
Simply its ISIS which is Erdogan’s children.
Angemon says
I imagine Erdogan will blame – you guessed it – Mossad…
John C. Barile says
Doubtlessly.
Sam says
I would not believe anything coming out from Erdogan administration.
Taurus Caerulus says
MIT not Mossad.
We think this organisation is afflicted to the NSU-Murders in germany.
It’s easier to blame “nazis” for killing turkish foreigners instead of turkish honor killings from the turkish underworld.
And they are helping establishing a muslim paramilitary organisation called “Osmanen Germania” in germany.
“DERIN DEVLET”

Blaming Mossad would damage Turkish-Israeli relations, which Erdogan worked hard and spent political capital last year to repair. It would be an abrupt change of course, different from the usual thinly-veiled rumblings about malevolent but vague international forces subverting Turkey (The Joos! The Masons!).
You blame the Turkish Deep State for recent attacks in Turkey and Germany. I thought Erdogan *is* the Deep State. I wish you would clarify these terms you use for the American non-specialist. I had to google them. And what on earth is an ‘Ottoman Germany’?
Taurus Caerulus says
NSU-Murders were the murders at turkish shopkeepers in the 2000s by a nazi terror group.
“Osmanen Germany” is a fightclub that remembers to a outlaw motorcycle club in Organisation linked to the MIT. (Milliye Istihbarat Teskilati)
Taurus Caerulus says
The MIT is independent from the military.
It’s the turkish secret service. One of it’s aspects is the conservation of turkish values.
Founded in Attaturk times, they ironically help the Islam to stand ground today. So it’s comparable with NSDAP/AO (AO means Auslandsorganisation; foreign Organisation) today. They have 6000 agents in germany.
In groceries, bet shops and mosques.
ElderlyZionist says
Thanks for that.I try to follow developments in Turkey, but I get confused. Back when Mehmet Ali Agca shot Pope John Paul (1981), he was linked to the Grey Wolves, an arm of the Deep State, who were described as ‘ultra-nationalist’, which was taken to mean ‘Nazi’. More recently, I’ve read that the Grey Wolves have gone Islamic. Times have changed, I suppose. Maybe there’s no contradiction.

Turkeys own intelligence services springs to mind.
Undaunted says
Same thing will happen here in the US. We have many Muslims on police and fire departments who will aid their brothers and sisters all they can in order to take down the infidel.
