​Homeland Security was right and so were we.  On June 16 in our blog on Ramadan,  we warned after Orlando that Ramadan was not yet over and that other attacks could be expected.  Remember we are still in the month of Ramadan when the Islamists think that attacks on Christians, Jews and Gays will be more valuable and martyrdom better rewarded in Heaven.

The end of Ramadan is also celebrated by a religious holiday  for Muslims the world over, Eid-Al Fitr [festival of the breaking of  fasting].  Are more massacres like Orlando and, Istanbul and other terrorist attacks in Tel Aviv, France and Mogadishu coming before the July 5th end of Ramadan? In this Ramadan, as in the previous one in 2015 there were jihadist attacks on three continents..    

The latest attack in Istanbul involved three suicide bombers.  The toll at this writing is 36 dead and 147 wounded.  The latest attack in Istanbul involved three suicide bombers.  The toll at this writing is 44 dead and over a hundred and twenty wounded.  The mode of attack suggests ISIS.  The three  bombers arrived from Rakka, the capitol of ISIS in Syria.  However, all three of them were from former Russian repubics, on a Chechen from Dagestan in the northern Caucasus, like the brother Tsarnaev who initiated the Boston Marathon bombing.  Dagestan is a neighboring re;public to Chechnya, underrgoing intense struggle with Russia.  The other two were a novelty.  They were from two former Soviet republics,  Uzbekistan and Krygyzstan in central Asia.  Today they are independent Muslim countries.

The origins of all three bombers suggest calls for closer cooperation with Russian intelligence in the strugle against the joint enemhy, jihadist terrorism. We called for this coopoeration in 2014 in our article in The National Interest,  "Can Russia and Americ Work Together to Crush the Islamic State?"

 The bombing is likely in part a response to Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan agreeing three days ago normalizing relations with Israel.  These. had frayed after a 2010 Israeli raid on a Turkish flotilla that had breached its security.

On June 25th an attack by the Al Shabaab terrorists claimed 14 lives at a hotel in Mogadishu, the capitol of Somalia. Unfortunately, there are so many attacks happening now our presidential candidates are having difficulty focusing on their campaigns.  As Trump was preparing his speech on Hillary’s economic policies, the terrorists in Istanbul were readying their deadly attack.

Our CIA Director, Brennan, has indicated he agreed with our suggestion that the end of Ramadan may bring another ISIS attack.  Security at both U.S. and European airports has been beefed up.
