clash

Thousands of people on Istanbul's European side Sunday welcomed the aid ship Mavi Marmara, scene of a deadly clash off Gaza in May.

Volunteers directed the crowd past posters of the eight Turks and one Turkish-American who died in the violence.

The anti-Israel sentiment threatens to undo tentative diplomatic efforts.

The Turkish-registered ship Marmara was the target of the Israeli commando raid that left nine people dead and dozens more wounded.

Fury over their deaths has led to the biggest crisis in Israeli-Turkey relations in years.
