ANKARA - Turkish police in the Mediterranean city of Mersin have arrested a member of the Kurdish WorkersÂ’ Party (PKK) suspected of being behind a number of small bomb attacks and of planning to carry out further attacks, the Anadolu news agency reported Saturday.
Get out the mustache wax and the #7 truncheons with hand-tooled leather handles; it's going to be a while. | Police found 12 kilos of plastic explosives, electric bomb fuses, a handgun and false identity documents in the house where the suspect, named only as V.U.Y., was arrested, Mersin Governor Huseyin Aksoy told reporters.
Aksoy said V.U.Y. had received training abroad before coming to Mersin. ‘The suspect was involved in bombings on 30 August, which resulted in one person being lightly injured, on 28 September in which the target was an automatic teller machine ... and on 21 August when a bomb, which did not explode, was left in a rubbish bin,’ Aksoy said. |
