| Turkish police hold bomb suspect |
| 2003-12-14 |
| Police in Turkey say they have arrested a "key suspect" in last month’s suicide bomb attacks in Istanbul. They believe the Turkish man - identified only by his initials F Y - helped prepare the explosives and trucks used in the attacks. Two synagogues, the British consulate, and a British bank were hit. The authorities say the man was arrested on Wednesday in south-eastern Turkey while trying to flee to Iran with a forged passport. Early on Sunday, the suspect was taken by the police to an industrial district of Istanbul and questioned at a workshop where he and others allegedly made the explosives. Eyewitnesses said he appeared to be about 30 years old, and had a short beard and dark hair. He wore a brown jacket and grey trousers. |
