A secret intelligence report, published by the Swedish website Nordic Monitor, revealed that the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had kept a militant teacher belonging to Al Qaeda on the government payroll in Turkey, while it isolated tens of thousands of teachers opposed to Erdogan's government.
The intelligence report indicated that a teacher named Erkan Akgul, working in a high school in Malatya province in southeastern Turkey, frequented a school belonging to a Turkish cell affiliated with al-Qaeda called "Tehcieglar" the snoopers.
The report added that the terrorist group is being led by Muhammad Dogan, also known as Mullah Muhammad al-Qasri, who declared his admiration for the former al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and called for what he called "armed jihad" in Turkey.
The head of the Intelligence Unit in the Malatya Police Department, Ali Arbash, provided the report on April 9, 2010, detailing Akgol's movements in a government school.
The report indicated that al-Muallem participated in a militant circle in a house that the pro-Al Qaeda group had turned into a school. The house was already under surveillance as part of a planned intelligence operation on orders from police headquarters in Ankara.
Mullah Muhammad and his followers were arrested in a police operation in January 2010
