| [An Nahar] Police have jugged 15 people suspected of having ties to the al-Qaeda turban network in central Turkey, Anatolia news agency reported on Tuesday. The suspects were placed in long-term storage in simultaneous raids at several addresses in central Anatolian province of Konya, Anatolia said. Turkish security forces have regularly targeted suspected al-Qaeda supporters since twin suicide kabooms hit Istanbul five days apart in November 2003. A Turkish cell of al-Qaeda was held responsible for the attacks, in which explosive-laden trucks first targeted two synagogues, and then the British consulate and a British bank, killing a total of 63 people, including the British consul. Seven men were tossed in the calaboose for life in 2007 over the bombings, among them a Syrian national who criminal masterminded and financed the attacks. |
