US soldier walks off destroyer in Istanbul, mugged by Turkish Patriots

US still has to apologize for 2003 hood incident. This was retaliation.

What were Turkish soldiers doing in Iraq in the first place? I heard they were also conducting some cladenstine activities in a sovereign country. So the blame goes both ways to be honest.:D

From Wikepedia: 'On April 24, 2003, only two weeks after the fall of Baghdad, a dozen Turkish special forces were arrested in Da Quq (a tribal village 45 minutes north of Kirkuk). According to Time, a weekly world news magazine, they were wearing civilian clothes and intended to infiltrate Iraq, lagging behind a humanitarian convoy, in order to destabilize the region to a level where Turkey could reasonably send its own peacekeeping force. However, they were intercepted by American forces, who claimed they had received prior knowledge of the group'.
 
Whats the big deal here? They were released after 60 hours. They didn't apologise for shooting down iranian civilian plane in their own territory.
