Lawyer of the newspaper Fethiye Cetin said they immediately filed a
complaint about the threat, which was signed as Turkish Revenge Brigade
(TÄ°T), a notorious clandestine group responsible for several killings
of leftist militants during 1980's.
"This is their last efforts to intimidate us. We'll do what's necessary
and won't tolerate such threats", said Cetin.
Reminding the hundreds of thousands who gathered for Hrant Dink's
funeral yesterday, "We'll overcome these obstacles in solidarity",
she said.
The e-mail message threatens of a bomb attack to the newspaper,
which continued receiving such threats even after Dink's
