Messages praising attacks on social media: 'Any school can be raided'

The consecutive school attacks in Kahramanmaraş and Şanlıurfa have plunged Turkey into mourning.

Messages shared in Telegram groups following the attacks were truly chilling.

In the Telegram group named "C31 K," which previously came to Turkey's attention with the murders of Ayşenur Halil and İkbal Uzuner, mind-boggling posts were made following the school attacks.

It was observed that in the group, which has approximately 100,000 members, the attackers were praised, and dates and locations were provided for new attacks.

A message from a user writing under the name "Barış Çelik" stating, "A lot of customers appeared for tomorrow. We will organize attacks on schools," drew attention, while another user's statement, "Business is booming. Any school can be raided," was also notable. It was also seen that a price list for attacks was shared in the group.

Following the messages that caused public outrage on social media, law enforcement forces have taken action.

It has been learned that an investigation into the posts has been initiated by Cyber Crimes units.
