ISIS calls Erdogan infidel, urges followers to conquer Istanbul
(Worthy News) – A fighter proclaiming allegiance to Islamic State has appeared in a video urging fellow Turks to rebel against “infidel” President Tayyip Erdogan and help conquer Istanbul, highlighting the threat the NATO member faces as it battles the radical insurgents.
Turkey has been in a heightened state of alert since launching a “synchronized war on terror” last month, which included air strikes against Islamic State fighters in Syria and the opening of its air bases to US-led coalition forces.
The moves marked a major policy shift by Ankara after years of reluctance in taking a frontline role against the Islamist fighters pressing on its borders. The steps followed a suicide bombing, blamed on Islamic State, in the Turkish border town of Suruc on July 20 which killed 34 people. [ Source ]
