Kurdish soccer player in ‘safe place’ after Germany attack
2018-01-10
[IsraelTimes] A German-Ottoman Turkish soccer player whose car was shot at on a German highway is in a "safe place" and receiving police protection after the apparent liquidation attempt, his lawyer says.

Deniz Naki, who plays in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund....
 and is known for his pro-Kurdish views, was unharmed in the shooting late Sunday which he believes was linked to his criticism of the Ottoman Turkish government.

The 28-year-old tells German media his SUV came under fire from a black van on the A4 motorway near the western town of Dueren, leaving two bullets lodged in his car.

"I was afraid for my life," says German-born Naki, who plays for the third-tier club Amedspor in the majority-Kurdish city of Diyarbakir. "I am a walking target in Turkey because of my pro-Kurdish stance," he is quoted as saying.

German prosecutors have opened an investigation into attempted murder, and coppers have since taken Naki to "a hidden location" as a precaution, his lawyer Soran Haldi Mizrak tells the DPA news agency.
