The tragic shooting at the Council of State has turned into a total whodunit, thanks to the efforts of the government to prove that the gunman who shot at five judges over a headscarf ruling wasn't an Islamist but a member of a nationalist gang.
The nationalists, for their part, have firmly denied any link.
The military, not too happy with the fact that Muzaffer Tekin used to be in the army -- though discharged -- are keeping quiet.
So Turks are left wondering what's behind the events -- and as one very shrewd observer said, fear that this might be 'deja vu' reminiscent of the times when shots fired at intellectuals went unresolved."
