2018-09-30
[Hurriyet Daily News] Spurred by testimony from a key plotter of the deadly 2013 double boom-mobileing in Reyhanli, Ottoman Turkish security forces are now seeking out eight suspects, according to judicial sources.

Ankara prosecutors issued warrants for the suspects, including one identified as Mehmet Gezer, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.

According to the testimony of Yusuf Nazik, Gezer played a key role in the bombing, the sources added.

Captured by Ottoman Turkish intelligence in the Syrian port city of Latakia on Sept. 12, Nazik, 34, has confessed to playing a role in the deadly bombing in the southern Ottoman Turkish border town of Reyhanli in the Hatay province which killed 53 people.

Nazik is now being interrogated by security and intelligence teams in the capital Ankara.

In his interrogation, Nazik told Ottoman Turkish security forces that on a tip off from Syrian intelligence units, he scouted the scene of the crime prior to the attack and moved explosives from Syria to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
