“In November 2003, the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades claimed responsibility for two sets of deadly attacks in Istanbul [Turkey] in partnership with a local suspected terrorist organization, the Islamic Great Eastern Raiders’ Front, also known as IBDA-C. In the first attack on November 15 [2003], two suicide bombers driving trucks filled with some nine hundred pounds of explosives pulled up alongside two synagogues, exploding the trucks within minutes. Twenty-five people were killed and at least three hundred were injured.”
