    Six of eight Turkish Military personnel jailed for neglect of duty
    to protect Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink assassination.

    Turkish court has sentenced two ranking military officers to six months
    and four other military personnel to four months in prison for ignoring
    intelligence that may have prevented the gunning down of the prominent
    ethnic Armenian journalist Hran Dink in 2007 in Hrant Dink Trial.

    Trabzon Gendarmerie Commander Col. Ali Oz and Gendarmerie Intelligence
    Unit Director Cpt. Metin Y覺ld覺z were handed down prison sentences
    of six months, while NCOs Okan 癬^im癬_ek, Veysel 癬^ahin, Huseyin
    Y覺lmaz and Hac覺 Omer Unal覺r were also each sentenced to four months
    in prison over the same charges.

    New Turn in Hrant Dink Assassination and Trial Reporter Hrant Dink
    was fatally shot by an alleged hardline nationalist teenager outside
    his newspaper's 襤stanbul office on Jan.

    19, 2007. He had received death threats because of his comments
    about Turkey Armenian relations. The ensuing investigation had
    stirred big controversy in Turkey. The investigation made it clear
    that the murderer hadn't acted alone but was in fact driven by a
    group of people whom he called older brothers and who had plotted
    the assasination for more than a year.
