According to the Turkish news, the assailant was a 22-year-old, Molood mart AltinTash (sp), who had studied in the Turkish police academy and was carrying a police ID when he entered the Ankara’s art exhibit. During the attack, he shouted Allah o-Akbar. Then in Turkish, he said: “Don’t you dare to forget about Halab (Halab is the ancient name of Aleppo), don’t you dare to forget about Syria.” First, he started by reciting a poem in Arabic that Muslims in the war of khandaq (The battle is named after “trench”, or khandaq, that was dug by Muslims in preparation for the battle) used to hum: “We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will carry on Jihad as long as we live.”
