Saqi are delighted to announce the publication of "Honour Killing: Stories of Men Who Killed." By Ayse Onal. At a time when tales of so-called honour killing are rarely out of the news, award-winning journalist Ayse Onal brings us a unique insight into the minds of the men who commit these acts. Based on one-to-one interviews with men convicted of the murder of family members, the harrowing stories in 'Honour Killing' shed new light on the motives and psychology of the perpetrators.


Ayse Onal is a journalist and writer of rare conviction and bravery, blacklisted by the Turkish government, threatened and harried by fundamentalists and even shot during an assassination attempt by the Turkish Mob, Onal continues to confront and expose taboos at the heart of her society, whatever the cost.


We would be delighted if you would consider featuring this book. Ayse Onal will be in the U.K. for a series of speaking engagements throughout May and is available for interview by arrangement.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.
