                       "If I can't have her, no one can!"

In Diyarbakır's Kayapınar district, bridegroom A.E. (20) and the bride-to
-be F.A. went to the wedding hall with their relatives.  Laying in wait for 
them was Selahattin Aktaş (26), who fired eight shots at A.E.  Ten-year-
old E.K. was hit by a ricochet bullet in the leg.  A.E. remains in serious 
condition in a hospital.

Police captured Aktaş five hours later in a friend's house and recovered
the gun he used, as well.  It turned out that a year ago Aktaş proposed
marriage to the F.A. but was rebuffed.  In his statement to police,
Aktaş explained that he was in love with F.A., who is his relative, and
when he found out that she would marry another man he decided to 
do what he could to prevent the marriage: "I came at the bridegroom 
from behind and shot at his feet.  I don't remember how many shots I
fired.  My aim wasn't to kill him, just to prevent the wedding." (!)
