ANTI-US protesters ATTACK USS ROSS Sailors
in ISTANBUL . . .
Members of the far-left Turkish Youth Union threw paint-filled balloons at US sailors, branded them murderers and attempted to put plastic bags over their heads. The sailors, who were not in uniform, had just disembarked from the guided-missile destroyer USS Ross, which docked in Istanbul a few days ago.
The men managed to escape and return to their ship. The entire crew's shore leave has now been canceled. Twelve people have been arrested in connection with what appears to be a planned assault.
