Anonymous has launched #OpSerenaShim in memory of American reporter Serena Shim who was murdered near Turkey-Syria border on October 19, 2014 while covering the proxy war in Syria. Shim was killed in a car crash 2 days after announcing live on Iran’s Press TV that the Turkish intelligence services had been investigating her activities on the suspicion that she was a spy.Shim and Press TV camerawoman Judy Irish, who barely survived, were returning to their hotel when a cement truck hit their car in a head-on collision. Reports indicate Irish was driving and the accident happened as they made a right turn, possibly at a higher than normal speed. The truck driver, who was arrested, claims the car was going too fast and crossed into his lane. There are rumors that the truck was accelerating at the time.
“The expert report and traffic collision report both cited that the driver was not at fault for the accident, while the Suruç Public Prosecutor Office is seeking a jail term for him on manslaughter charges”, according to Hurriyet Daily News. The next court date for the driver will be in March and he could face 6 years on manslaughter charges.
Another report cited the investigators saying the car’s tracking indicated speeds over 70 km/h (~ 44 mph) at some point. What would make Irish drive so fast and out of control causing them to turn the wrong way on a one way highway into oncoming traffic and hit the truck? The circumstances sound like they were trying to get away from someone chasing them, or looking for help. It is possible that whoever was looking for her had found them, whether it was Turkish intelligence, Takfiri militants linked to the Islamic State, or some other group.
Shim’s sister believes she was murdered for multiple reasons, but specifically Shim and Irish were taken to different hospitals after the crash.
clickondetroit.comFox News quoted Shim’s mother saying the scene looked “staged” and that her death was not an accident.
“She caught them bringing in ISIS high-ranked members into Syria from Turkey into camps, which are supposed to be Syrian refugee camps,” Fatmeh Shima said.
….
“I think it was planned and plotted,” Fatmeh Shim said. “There’s no pictures of Sassy in the car. There is not one scratch on my sister’s body. They took them to two different hospitals. Why? Why were there Army men on the ground, why weren’t there police?”
The images, Poe claims, show a “shoddy job” that “tell us everything,” suggesting the scene was staged to look like an accident.State Department knows nothing about anything as usual. To wit, October 20th.
state.govNo updates on November 20th either, referencing October 20 BS.
QUESTION: Does the U.S. have any comment on reports the death of U.S. citizen Serena Shim in Turkey may be more than just a car crash, following her reports that ISIS militants are being smuggled across the Syrian border?
MS. HARF: Yes. We can confirm that she died in Turkey on October 19th and extend our deepest condolences to her family and friends. Officials from the U.S. Consulate General in Adana are in contact with her family and providing all possible consular assistance. For any details or information about the investigation, I think local authorities in Turkey are handling that.
QUESTION: But I mean, the question was whether you believe that her death had anything other than to do than a car crash.
MS. HARF: I just don’t have anything further for you than that.
QUESTION: Can you take the question?
MS. HARF: I can, but I don’t think I’m going to have anything further.
