Connected? I don't know? But worth mentioning Official: Loud Blast in Southern Turkey May Have Been Military Jets
A loud blast heard in Gaziantep, in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border, may have been caused by jets taking part in Turkish military efforts in nearby northern Syria, Turkish officials said late Friday.Police and firefighting teams investigated the sound, according to Turkey's Anadolu news agency.The Gaziantep Province governor's office released a statement that said the incident caused no injuries, deaths or property damage."This sound could have been caused by warplanes involved in the Euphrates Shield operation going over the usual noise limit. We will give further details later," the governor said.Tensions are high in Gaziantep.

Additional commentary and information
- RescueNovember 26, 2016 at 3:50 PMThe US was behind the attack on the Turkish troops, (I'm not excluding Syrian collusion) & Turkey retaliated with the attack in Hasakah today. At least 5 US soldiers died. Assad is openly courting the US, hoping Trump will be an ally. That is why they are taking a hostile stance against Turkey, and scapegoating Erdogan for the war. I'm also worried, because Syria is not acting rationally. Teaming up with the SDF to capture Al-Bab is a fatal decision, that Syria will suffer with for a long time. Clearly, Russia & Syria have also fallen out, over what I don't entirely know. I suspect it might have been because of the latest jihadi offensive against Aleppo, where Russia withheld air support, allegedly because of a deal with Erdogan. After that, the relationship between the parties in the Syrian war changed. greencrowNovember 26, 2016 at 4:32 PMHi Penny:Perhaps THIS is why Putin and Erdogan have so much to talk about:http://www.conspiracyoutpost.com/topic/17831-media-silent-as-house-pass…
Consider the thoughts others are sharing... Rescue makes some good points particularly with regard to Aleppo- Russia wasn't 'all in' on it- For what ever reason? Bad PR etc., They left it up to Syria.Maybe Syria didn't need the assistance. Taking Aleppo is ugly work.I agree that it was the US that attacked the Turkish troops- The US made clear they were displeased with Turkey's operation and were officially distancing themselves from it. If Syria is teaming up with the Kurds- Bad move. It is a mistake they will pay dearly for and suggests Syria's leadership is accepting some degree of balkanization.Nothing is ever black and white. There are many shades of grey.Greencrow has raised the spectre of the no fly zone, yet again-I'm very saddened to read that :(That will affect Turkey As the middle east/north africa remake marches on... Yes, this is bigger then Syria. As repeatedly stated here!
