Istanbul, Turkey (AHN) - Bulent Ecevit, the veteran Turkish politican, undergoes emergency surgery after having a stroke. On Thursday, the 81-year-old joined a gathering of thousands of pro-secularist Turks at the funeral of slain judge Mustafa Yucel Ozbilgin. He was gunned down by an Islamist shooter, who injured four other victims. Ecevit, who was elected prime minister five times, slammed the Turkish government over the murder, claiming it was an act against the secular state.
