foreign thrillers
recently, there have been fascinating events in turkey and russia that read like real-life thrillers. in turkey, a secretive, anti-government, ultra-nationalist group that looked to overthrow the government by 2009 was taken down. the group is considered "deep state", which refers to the collection of often high-ranking members of the government who act outside of the law in what they consider turkey's best interests. wicked. from the bbc:
In 1996, many Turks' suspicions of a "deep state" were confirmed when a car crashed in the town of Susurluk. Inside were a senior police chief, a prominent politician and a wanted assassin.and in russia, a top russian model was killed when she tried to stop a car-jacking in moscow. in addition to her job as a supermodel, she was also a martial arts expert and moonlighted as a high-paid bodyguard, and has stopped thieves from stealing her car before. from cnn:
"Susurluk revealed weird connections between state officials and those who operate outside the limits of the law. It happened at a time when we had a lot of extra-judicial killings in Turkey," Mr Candar explains.
