[QUOTE]Turkish police have fired two tear gas canisters at a vehicle carrying a BBC reporting team as it was leaving the border area near Kobane, Syria.The second round was fired at point blank range though the rear window, filling the van with tear gas and briefly setting fire to the vehicle.
Correspondent Paul Adams was being filmed shortly before the attack, and the camera kept rolling during the next few minutes.[/QUOTE]

Top gear can't catch a break
I wonder what Turkey's excuse for this will be?

Turkey will likely give a formal apology and ensure severe repercussions for those involved.

The UK and Turkey are diplomatically close, for those wondering.

I'd hope so. It was almost certainly just the police in question being a bit too tense, but it's still concerning whenever any two allied nations experience a friendly fire incident. Maybe my choice of words in 'excuse' was a bit too hostile, I just wondered what the reasoning for the incident would be.
it was kurdt with his shotgun
(i'm terrible, so sorry)
Holy shit I shat myself from the canister being shot through the backwindow.
Wonder how I would have reacted in that situation.. especially because everything went so fast.
