Turkish Media lies about "aid" truck convoy

"Russian warplanes bombed a Turkish truck convoy at the Syrian border on Wednesday amid increasing tensions between the two countries over Turkey's downing of a Russian jet.

Turkish media said the trucks belonged to IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, an Istanbul-based humanitarian organization with connections to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. IHH said it has teams in the area but did not own the trucks."

Sounds like the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation wasn't willing to lie about the trucks even though they have "connections to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan", wow, -- I guess Turkey will have to try again to smuggle weapons to ISIS and al Nursa.
