     Maybe they'll get remedial training from Tom in jail. 

Gang leader Ercan Yılmaz, wanted in Turkey for 25 different crimes,
fled to Georgia.  Three years ago Yılmaz sent his gang to extort tribute 
from shopkeeper Z.B. in Ordu.  Z.B. refused to yield and moved his 
family to Ankara in the face of the gang's threats.   

The gang wouldn't relent, though, and tracked down Z.B. in Ankara
last March, raking his shop with gunfire and leaving this message:
"we'll find you anywhere and you'll pay us the money we want 
sooner or later!"  Nevertheless, Z.B. continued to resist paying the
gang so Yılmaz sent new instructions from Georgia, such that gang
members came to Ankara from Aydın in a "korsan" (pirate/unregistered)
taxi and scouted out Z.B.'s workplace.















Tom Cruise at Istanbul's Kapalı Çarşı (Covered Bazaar) on 
Sunday.

The gang members then returned to Aydın, gathered weapons for the
attack and rented a car to return to Ankara.  The rental car was left in
a particular spot in Ankara for hit-man (!) Alper Calayır and getaway
driver Oğuzhan T, who came to Ankara from Istanbul, to use during 
the attack on Z.B.  Calayır and Oğuzhan T. then went to Z.B.'s shop to 
kill him but mistakenly shot his son C.B. (!), wounding him in the leg.   
Calayır and Oğuzhan T. fled in the rental car.

Police found the abandoned rental car 15 kilometers away in Altındağ.
In addition, thanks to surveillance camera footage, police found the
gun used in the attack in a garbage can in front of the Ankara bus
terminal.  As a result, police made simultaneous raids in Istanbul,
Ankara, Aydın, Izmir, Denizli, Sakarya and Ordu, taking 13 suspects,
including Calayır, into custody.  Police learned that the gang members
received 100,000 TL (about $3,700) to plan the attack on Z.B. and 
the hit-men received 200,000 TL (about $7,400), evidently from Yılmaz.

Hoping to get jail leave to act as extras in Tom's new MI.
