Three more suspects have been arrested in connection with the twin bombing attacks on British targets in Istanbul last week in which more than 30 people were killed and hundreds wounded. It was not immediately known what charges would be brought against the suspects detained on Wednesday, said defence lawyer Selahattin Karahan. The state security court freed 15 others who were being held in the probe. On Tuesday, nine people were charged with belonging to or aiding and abetting an illegal organisation in the investigation into the bombings at the British consulate and the Istanbul offices of London-based banking giant HSBC. Eight people have also been charged with involvement in the bombings of two Istanbul synagogues five days earlier. Officials said several more were in police custody.
