Making online confessions about state-mafia relations, mob boss Sedat Peker this time warned against an alleged plan to attack Alevis, a religious minority in Turkey.

He claimed Mehmet Ağar, a former interior minister, was plotting an attack on a cemevi, the Alevi place of worship.

He said on Twitter that the attack would be much greater than the one in 1995, when unknown perpetrators opened fire with automatic rifles on coffee shops in İstanbul's Gazi Neighborhood, which is predominantly occupied by Alevis.

The shootings that killed a dede (Alevi religious leader) led to days of riots that left more than 20 people killed and hundreds injured.

Ağar, a shady politician accused of involvement in extrajudicial killings in the 1990s, was one of the main targets of Peker, who has been releasing videos on mafia-state relations since early May.
