Ankara, Feb. 9 (AP): The father of a teenager suspected of killing a Catholic priest said his son claimed he was ordered to carry out the shooting, a report said on Thursday.
Rev. Andrea Santoro, a 60-year-old Italian, was shot to death Sunday at his church along the Black Sea Coast.
Witnesses say the killer screamed ``Allahu Akbar,'' Arabic for ``God is great,'' before firing two bullets into Santoro's back as he kneeled to pray. The priest's body was returned to Italy on Tuesday.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested on Tuesday. Police said they seized a 9mm handgun, and a ballistics test confirmed it was used in the shooting.
The boy, who has not been officially charged, was scheduled to appear in court Thursday for arraignment, the semiofficial Anatolia news agency reported. He has not been identified because of his age.
The suspect's father, identified as Hikmet, said the boy told him someone appearing on an Internet webcam ordered the shooting, the Hurriyet newspaper reported on Thursday.
``'Look at television _ the priest was shot,''' Hikmet recalled his son as saying on Sunday, hours after the shooting.
The father, a dental technician, said he pressed his son about why the priest might have been killed. Finally, the boy said: ``'I shot him. If I did not shoot him, they would shoot you,''' the father recalled his son as saying.
``He did not reveal the details; he just said he was told by someone through a webcam,'' Hikmet told Hurriyet.
The father said the teen had been receiving psychological help for some time, private CNN-Turk television reported Thursday.
Neither the father nor the boy's lawyer was immediately available for comment Thursday. The mother, a board member of the local women's branch of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party, also was not available.

Priest hit 'ordered over web'

Ankara - The teenage suspect being held for allegedly shooting an Italian Roman Catholic priest in Turkey received orders to kill him through an internet webcam, the suspect's father said, according to the leading Hurriyet newspaper on Thursday.
The suspect's father, Hikmet, was quoted by the paper as saying that his 16-year-old son was excited and nervous on Sunday night, hours after he allegedly killed Santoro.
"Look at television, the priest was shot," Hikmet quoted his son as saying in an interview with Hurriyet.
The father became suspicious and pressed his son about why the priest might have been killed.
Finally, the boy said: "I shot him. If I did not shoot him, they would shoot you," the father quoted his son as saying.
'Met someone through a webcam'
The father said he then questioned him further.
"He did not reveal the details, he just said he was told by someone through a webcam," Hikmet said.
The paper did not provide the father's surname to protect the suspect, who is a minor. Neither the father nor the boy's lawyer was immediately available for comment.
The semiofficial Anatolia news agency reported that the boy was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday where he will likely be arraigned.
Santoro, 60, was killed on Sunday while praying in his church along the Black Sea coast. Witnesses say the killer screamed "Allah Akbar," Arabic for "God is great," before firing two bullets into Santoro's back as he kneeled to pray. The priest's body was returned to Italy on Tuesday.
The suspect was capturedon Tuesday and police said they seized a 9mm handgun during the raid and a ballistics test confirmed it was used in the shooting.
Is that 'someone' a Black Labrador named Sam, perchance?
Maybe it was the Prophet himself!
I think it's time to take the internet away from the animals. While we're at it we should ground all of them.

Sounds like a schizophrenic.
They shoot priests in the back and behead women and children. Such courage.
Sirhan Sirhan wishes HE had thought of that excuse.
Jihad web cam?
I know it's minor, but "Allahu Akbar" actually means "God is greater" (an arrogant expression of insecurity about their little god).
Sadly, there is no cure for Islam at the present time.
If its Turkey, It could be lead paint.
