Man suspected of Turkish terrorist attacks detained in Azerbaijan
2004-01-05
Azerbaijani border guards have detained a suspect in the recent terrorist attacks in Istanbul, Turkey, reported chairman of the State Border Service Elchin Guliyev. Guliyev said the man had been detained on the Azerbaijani-Iranian border, and underlined that his citizenship is yet to be ascertained. He did not rule out the possibility that that the suspect may be a citizen of a Muslim country. Twenty-eight people were killed and more than 450 wounded as a result of two bomb explosions near the British General Consulate and the office of the British HSBC Bank on November 15. Most of the casualties were British and Turkish citizens. British Consul General Roger Short was among those killed in the suicide bombings.
I wonder which Muslim country?

#1  detained on the Azerbaijani-Iranian border

Tried a end-around, did he? Several other suspects in this bombing were reported to have headed to Iran, maybe that's the route they took. Wonder if he was going to Iran or coming out for another go?
