Yle reports (in Finnish) that police has found fingerprints matching to Tunisian suspect whose ID papers were found from the truck. So it looks like it wasn't red herring.

Just realised that it is impossible to catch up to monster threads. Tried reading from 10 pages back and I find a horrible OT mess there, heh.

Our ambassador did not have a Russian security detail because Turkey banned the special forces unit that handles it (Zaslon) from entering Turkey about 10 years ago.

Allegedly the assasin was the Turkish policeman on security duty.
Allegedly that ban was renegotiated because Turkey is no longer safe.

Turkey hasn't been safe for a while now, although I must admit I didn't expect it to get to that kind of level, so it was not a surprise but still a bit of a surprise really.
Is the Russian line echoing the Turkish one that it was all Gulens fault?

I find it amazing that every time:

1. The terrorist(s) leave some id behind
2. They are mostly criminal or have been charged for some criminal stuff
3. The police or the intelligence in the country have had he or them under surveillance for a while

The party line is that it is Islamists fault I believe. That and the need for Erdogan to get a grip on his Islamists. Allah Akbar by the attacker sort of fits that narrative.

Meanwhile it became known that the senator of justice of the government in Hamburg - which is a federal city state in itself - delayed to post the public warrant for Amri in Hamburg, when the other federal states already had set it up. Reason: the man is an activist against hate speech and offensive language in the internet media and refers to such comments showing up when the police uses Facebook for posting public warrants. FB does not allow disabling the comment function, and Hamburg, so says the man, finds itself unable to moderate these comments like they do in other states. Some hate comments may slip through before moderators could delete them, so he said.

The warrant was set up with delay and not before repeated demands to Hamburg to finally set it up.

Interesting priorities by this do-gooder. Hamburg is run by a red-green coalition government.

The also red-green ruled city state of Bremen also has not realised a warrant regulation by the central government, allowing the federal police to react faster by setting up such warrants without formal permission of the local authorities.

"Watch your mouth." In some parts of germany, thats more important than lives.

Well, that's some good sense. Are they thinking that it was Daesh?

This is all our fault really we caused him to what what he did in the first place and now tracking this islamist terrorist murder suspect down and killing him is just going to radicalize countless others. I think we should try sending them a gift baskest instead.
