ISIL's Turkish bomber brainwashed in this teahouse, brother on run
The 20-year-old man, who detonated himself in southeastern Turkey on July 20, killing 31 others, was brainwashed by radicals at a teahouse, a daily Hürriyet investigation reveals. Police are now seeking his brother, who is thought to be preparing for another attack. The identity of the suspected Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) suicide bomber who hit Turkey's southeastern town of Suruç has been confirmed by DNA tests while the exact locations where he was allegedly radicalized have also been discovered.
?eyh Abdurrahman Alagöz, a 20-year-old university student registered in Ad?yaman province, has been identified as the suicide bomber who carried out the deadly July 20 attack at a municipal culture center in ?anl?urfa's Suruç district, which killed 31 activists planning to cross the border to help rebuild the Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane.
The minibus driver who brought the suicide bomber to Suruç said he was accompanied by a woman when he took the minibus.
The family of Alagöz filed a missing report for their son at the Ad?yaman Eskisaray Police Center police on Nov. 22, 2014.
The family said their two sons - ?eyh Abdurrahman Alagöz (R) and his brother Yunus Emre Alagöz - were both brainwashed by ISIL and that they feared for their lives. The two brothers were sought for eight months as "missing people linked to terror."
The young man's mother, Semüre Alagöz, said her son had gone "abroad" six months ago and returned only 10 days ago, before she lost contact with him.
"They didn't tell us where they went or what kind of job they had found. I don't know whether he joined ISIL. He was a good boy," the woman said. She added that Yunus was also missing.
