Israel raid on Flotilla like 9/11: Turkey 01 Jun 2010 Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu draws a parallel between an Israeli attack against a Gaza-bound aid convoy and the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US. "Psychologically this attack is like 9/11 for Turkey," said Davutoglu, who is in Washington for talks with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The minister also expressed Turkey's dissatisfaction with the US stance after Washington only regretted "the loss of life" aboard the Freedom Flotilla aid convoy.
