Bloomberg Business quotes Rafik Hariri Center Nonresident Fellow Aaron Stein on blame falling on ISIS after a bomb killed thirty-one people near Turkey’s Syrian border:
The group has so far seen attacks inside Turkey, a key supply route for its forces further south, as counter-productive, said Aaron Stein, a Nonresident Fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East.
“Any major provocation against Turkey risks bringing it more forcefully into the war,” Stein said. “So, this may not be an attack on Turkey per se,” but rather a strike against allies of the Syrian Kurds, he said.
