When I lived in Europe, Turkey was one of my favorite vacation spots -- different enough to be interesting without being so foreign as to be difficult to adjust to. I've done a few quick google searches about the supposed raid. I found mentions of it on all of the indymedia (of course) sites, kuro5hin, mediageek and a few personal web sites. All of these sites use the same two articles as their primary source. I checked to LA Times website and there are seven articles that mention "FBI" and "raid" since Januray 23, 2002. None of these articles have anything to do with raisethefist.com. This seems to be some type of hoax. It's a wee bit hard to think that no reputable news agency (or even slashdot) hasn't mentioned this.
