'Kebab killer' is targeting Turks
In Berlin, A SERIAL killer who has shot nine people in broad daylight is sparking fear in the Turkish community in Germany.
Police have set up a joint investigation unit with detectives in Turkey to track down the man, who has been dubbed the 'kebab killer', before he strikes again.
"There has never been a series of murders like this in Germany," said Wolfgang Geier, the superintendent leading the search.
"The killer goes into a place, shoots and disappears without leaving a single trace - only the bullets."
"We are clearly dealing with a cold-blooded criminal who carries out Mafia-style executions," Peter Boie, the State Prosecutor in Munich, warned.
The killings began in Nuremberg in September 2000, when Enver Sinisek, the owner of a mobile flower stand, was shot.
One victim was a Greek; the rest were Turkish.
None was robbed.
The initial theory - that all were victims of a nationwide protection racket - does not seem solid.
One of the dead Turks had been in Germany barely nine days and had no property in the country.
Police also doubt that the killer is a racist loner.
The use of the same weapon suggests he is sending a message to the Turkish community.
German and Turkish detectives are now investigating whether or not the victims were laundering money for Turkish drug clans which operate from the Netherlands. (� The Times, London) |

Any right-wing Armenians residing in Germany bent on revenge for the genocide by Ottoman Turks - which fact is denied by the current Turkish government - would be likely suspects... |

The formerly named, but now nameless, poster is a good bet, too. |
