Knowing the turks: 1. The police, not hampered by sentmentality will find them - and get every last ounce of information from them. One of my friends a turkish police Lt had one of his collegues killed in a hizbollah attack. He is a nice guy; but he just might look the other way, when an old police sergeant (not used to the new ways) starts interviewing with the baton! 2. Al Qaida has just opened a can of worms: Besides Israel there is probably no other police force that have that good access to terrorist information (see above). 3 thinking the turks will go back to before Ataturk is more than ambitious - they know the arabs, and do not want to get bogged down in that quagmire!
