               Had there been a sign...

In Istanbul's Zeytinburnu district last Friday, Sedat Arıkan and Nadir

K. got into an argument over a parking spot.  The argument became a

fight, prompting local shopkeepers to intervene and quell the dispute.

However (!), yesterday at 1530 hours the tension between the two 

erupted once again and turned into a gunfight.  This time, Sedat bey's

older brother Sinan Arıkan  and Nadir bey's relative İbrahim K. joined

the fray.  Nadir bey pulled a gun from his waist and fired on the two

Arıkan brothers, sending them both to the hospital, where, despite all 

efforts, Sedat bey expired.  The two K's were taken into custody by

police. 

This means war!
