Turkey's border with Syria at Gaziantep AP One of the Brussels attackers was caught in Turkey in June last year and deported to the Netherlands, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said.

President Erdogan said Turkey warned both Belgium and the Netherlands he was "a foreign fighter".

He did not name the attacker, who he said was detained at Turkey's border with Syria at Gaziantep.

President Erdogan said: "Despite our warnings that this person was a foreign terrorist fighter, Belgium could not establish any links with terrorism."

An official in the Turkish president's office later said the attacker deported from Turkey was Brahim el-Bakraoui.

Earlier reports suggested el-Bakraoui was deported to Belgium, but this was later corrected to the Netherlands.

I wonder about Turkey, they attack the Kurds constantly as they fight ISIS and now come up with this story is it the UK or others whom are not sharing info? Just listened to Republicans and of course its Obama's fault because he was in Cuba! of We should have known Obama Did It!

1. I heard on MSNC yesterday that...

... sometimes European authorities are hesitant to share information with Belgium because information tends to leak do to the way their government is structured.

It is sometimes not clear who is responsible for what.


Also there was a report that said the police are unable to conduct raids after dark to do "privacy protections." In my opinion that is ridiculous.


I know someone will come along to call me NSA surveillance apologist. But there is a big difference between that and not being able to arrest a terrorist after dark. I am sure the terrorists know that and they wait until dark to move knowing the police can't do anything.

2. "I wonder about Turkey, they attack the Kurds constantly"

What a crock of shit.

Turkey attacks the Kurds only after the PKK commit terrorist attacks in Turkey.
