Alphabet soup!

From the latest news as seen at Core.com and the DEBKAfile the Turk under attack, those responsible for terrorist bombings their identity it seems not known with certainty.

Turkish intelligence and police are able [??] to determine who the perpetrators are in these various attacks? The possible players with a grudge and animus toward the Turk seems to be almost infinite! Who ever said any of this was going to be easy?
