Original OP:
This is breaking "alternative news" at the moment. I don't see anything about it in western media. All the tinfoil sites have been chattering about it since around noon eastern today. Background is there has been some fighting on the Syrian side of the Turkish border. It has spilled over a few times. Reuters recently reported there was a Syrian shell that killed several people in Turkey. Pictures are from the turkish news site.
My sketchy tinfoil meter is twitching... I'll get back to you with details as they arise. The story broke in "English" on "godlikeproductions.com around 1 PM EST. Zaman seems genuine enough, but the story seems placed and the imagery stock.
This story broke on Zaman, a turkish news site, google translated link follows:
