The Turkish intelligence agencies have raised alarms over a reported
death attempt plot against Ogun Samast, a Turkish nationalist jailed
over charges of the assassination of Hrant Dink, the editor-in-chief
of the Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos.
According to the Turkish newspaper Star, the Turkish National
Intelligence Organization's (MIT) confidential letter on the reported
plot has been sent to the Istanbul juvenile court, the prison
administration, the Istanbul intelligence service, and the Istanbul
provincial gendarmerie.
"It is planned to launch an armed attack on the vehicle that
periodically transports Ogun Samast from jail to court," says the
MIT statement.
The Turkish intelligence claims that the attack will be launched
by the leftist Turkish Workers and Villagers Organization (TIKKO)
whose armed rebels are reportedly planning to bomb the vehicle.
Samast, who is being kept in the Kojaeli prison, stands trial at the
Istanbul juvenile court.
