Oh bugger.
Not sure this can be called as big a diplomatic incident as Turkish military shooting down a Russian jet, but still shouldn't they be protected?.

Thanks for the snuff movie LK
It's going to be interesting to discover what the assassin's nationality was. And whether he was affiliated to any political organisation. Maybe he was just angry because Russia etc are succeeding in liberating a cosmopolitan and relatively secular Syrian city from the jihadists.
Thanks for the info LK - you are quicker than Reuters.
Erdogan will be sitting on the toilet wondering what he's going to tell Vlad.
We had better hope that the incident doesn't prove to be this century's Arch Duke Ferdinand moment.
It seems as though the only security personnel at the event with a firearm was the assassin.
PS: Let's have no more talk of potential war. Please have consideration for TruBlue's shredded nerves.
Some news networks were reporting on him as a retired policeman.
Others said off duty.
Then some people were saying it was an accident.
Reuters released the news the driver was polish. Then they corrected themselves to say the truck was polish. Then they said the passenger was polish as well.
etc, etc.
The joys of "breaking news"!.
So there is a short timeframe where they are allowed to make things up
BTW special forces usually conduct special operations, they are highly disciplined and chosen for their psychological profile, so no loose cannons they are trained to follow specific orders without deviation.

Turns out the man of Pakistani origin they arrested is no longer a suspect and the truck driver is still at large. And armed.
The guy arrested must have had a pretty terrifying few hours
