I've Been Thinking:

Turkey arrested 32 al Qaeda terrorists in multiple, simultaneous, raids across the country yesterday. The word is that there were 8 raids all together - but there could very well have been more.

The terrorists were charged with a long list of crimes including planning to attack NATO, the United States and Israeli targets.

Some of the terrorists were also charged with participating in a series of terror attacks that rocked Turkey in 2003 - attacks on two Turkish synagogues, an HSBC bank and the British Consulate.

Seven people have already been tried for the 2003 terrorist attacks, but clearly, the net is very large and it seems that Turkey is actively pursuing more of these terrorists and hopes to bring them all to justice.

These raids and these arrests are vitally important.

It is important that we understand how very many al Qaeda terrorists are actively pursuing their agendas in Turkey.

It is important to know that Turkey is in hot pursuit, that Turkey is working hard to prevent future terror attacks.

Turkey deserves to be commended.
