Turkish prosecutors have decided to close an investigation into police officials alleged to have failed to act on intelligence regarding Islamic State (ISIL) suspects prior to the devastating 2015 Ankara bombing. The Gaziantep Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office cited the expiration of the statute of limitations as the reason for dropping the probe, as reported by Evrensel daily. This attack remains Turkey’s deadliest terrorist act. The decision effectively shields the officials from potential prosecution related to the incident. Critics argue this closure denies justice to the victims and their families. The probe centered on whether authorities could have prevented the bombing with more proactive measures. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding accountability for security failures in Turkey.
