Interior Minister Güler rejected opposition charges that the government had recently opened Turkish border gates in response to a threat from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. He also rejected the charge that ISIL was behind the Reyhanli border gate bombing that killed over 50 people; authorities have blamed the bombing on the Turkish Peoples Liberation Party/Front (THKP/C) and a faction, the Urgent Ones (Acilciler). The government also denied involvement in an alleged special forces raid against Shabaab in Somalia. The government aims to continue incursions into Iraq in pursuit of the Kurdistan Workers Party.
