ANKARA (Reuters) - A gunman opened fire in Turkey's top administrative court on Wednesday, injuring five judges in a shooting which the country's leaders condemned as an attack on its secular establishment.
The court's deputy chairwoman said the assailant described himself as a 'soldier of Allah' as he carried out the attack. President Ahmet Necdet Sezer said it would go down as a 'black mark in the Republic's history'.
The court, the Council of State, has faced fierce criticism in Islamist circles for hardline implementation of secularist laws such as a headscarf ban in universities and state offices."
