Tanrı’nın Aklını Aramak  "Seeking the Mind of God" by Sedat Sertoğlu

The heads of MIT and MOSSAD turned their heads to the CIA Director, whom they had known for years. And he began to speak slowly:

'A radical terrorist organization linked to al-Qaeda is organized in an African country. 12 persons. We've been trying to follow them for nine months. They are stationed near the Somali-Kenya border. We learned from some of their phone calls and some messages on the internet that they were preparing for a very big action in America. We couldn't find any of their records. They are not known names. We have to go and shoot them before they come to us.'

Where does the truth begin, where does the fiction come into play, you will decide as you read.
