25 al Qaeda Arrested in Turkey

Since Reliapundit e-mailed about it I'll have you click on over to his site to see the details. I'll just note one thing that he doesn't include in his post:

Three of the suspects, including a Russian national of Chechen origin, were detained in Istanbul. They are believed to have acted as couriers between Al Qaeda militants within Turkey and abroad, the report said.
I love it when European lefties try to argue that the jihad in the Russian Caucuses is simply a nationalist struggle when their own propaganda over at Kavkaz Center constantly reminds us that what they are after is a Taliban-like state on the edge of Europe.
