The ISIS gangs that are supported by the AKP government by all means are now able to organise attacks anywhere across Turkey. The fact that the gang members never get caught because of their actions further proves the support provided to them by the Turkish state.
The death of a British woman, former BBC journalist Jacky Sutton, is also considered “suspicious” as her colleagues and friends express disbelief about reports that appeared on Turkish media that she had taken her life herself. They tell that she was being threatened with death, pointing out who might be involved and responsible for her death. Sutton previously wrote that she had been threatened by the ISIS.
Many say it again brings to mind the Turkish state's support to ISIS that ISIS members could freely enter into an highly protected airport without facing any problems.
Sutton: I am afraid of being targeted by the Jihadists
In the meantime, British newspapers Daily Telegraph and Times wrote that Sutton feared ISIS would target her.
Daily Telegraphy published an e-mail written by Sutton to a friend of her, Amanda Whitely. She told Amanda Whitley that she had moved from accommodation provided for her in Erbil, because there was no way out if someone “came in uninvited” in order to kill her.
“If Daesh wants to attack they will but it will take planning and I won’t be the target; if the whacko wants to get to heaven he or she will have to contend with armed guards and a choice of targets, and the same with criminal kidnappers – a growth industry in Iraq,” she wrote.
Hiwa Osman, a former colleague in Iraq, said there was "no way she committed suicide. She has been in a million, much more difficult circumstances. She told me she was bringing back toys and books for my kids. There was no indication she was unhappy. Unless there is clear evidence she committed suicide, she was definitely murdered."
“She was murdered”
Christian Bleuer, another friend and research fellow at the Australian National University in Canberra, wrote: "Toughest woman you could meet. I'm not into conspiracies but if the Turks say a security camera at Istanbul-Ataturk was 'malfunctioning' then Jacky Sutton was murdered."
Times and Guardian also included largely in their coverage the disbelief about the reports saying that she committed suicide and quoted her friends and colleagues all expressing that Sutton was likely killed rather than committing suicide.
