Video: Turkish Men Attempt to Put Bag Over US Soldier’s Head

The backlash is believed to be sparked by the 2003 incident known as “The Hood Event.”

Two Turkish nationalists have been detained after a YouTube video surfaced depicting the men trying to place a bag over a U.S. soldier’s head.

Several media outlets have reported that the men, Yalcin Semir Akarsu and Cenk Kizilirmak, were placed under house arrest after the incident, which occurred on April 16 at the Incirlik air base in Adana.
