Turkish secret police accused of attacks on Kurds

By Liz Fekete

1 April 1995

Turkish secret police have been accused of carrying out a spate of attacks on London-based Kurdish activists, including the attempted assasination of Nafiz Bostanci, an outspoken critic of the Turkish regime.

Bostanci, whose nephew was shot and seriously injured in the attack, said that he had previously been warned that he was the target for a MIT assassination attempt. The coordinator of the Kurdish Information Centre, Mizginsen, said: 'We have information that MIT sent out over 100 agents in 1993 and believe the violence will escalate'.
