According to Reuters, authorities have detained 15 members of the anti-American youth group liable for the assault.
From Reuters:
“Turkish authorities on Monday detained 15 members of an anti-American youth group who bodily assaulted two U.S. navy personnel within the metropolis of Izmir, the state-run Anadolu information company reported.
The company stated members of the Turkish Youth Union, which is affiliated with the Patriotic Celebration — a small, nationalist political get together with out parliament seats — had been detained on the orders of a prosecutor.”
As world tensions rise amid ongoing conflicts, such incidents solely serve to exacerbate the strained relations between the U.S. navy and varied factions around the globe. Sadly, 4 years of weak incompetence by Biden has emboldened and enabled incidents like this to occur.
