"Three men on the truck — who were later revealed to be members of Turkey's intelligence service, Milli Istihbarat Teskilati (MIT) — prevented the police from searching the truck, arguing it was outside city limits, where jurisdiction belongs to the gendarmerie." "Meanwhile, the head of the Turkish Islamic IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation issued a statement on its official web page, denying media reports that linked it with the truck." (thanks Amir)
