10 remanded over last month's twin Istanbul blasts
2017-01-07
[AA.TR] An Istanbul court remanded 10 suspects late on Friday in connection with last month's deadly terror attacks in the city's Besiktas district.

The suspects are accused of "being member of an armed terror organization" and "making terror propaganda."

The court ruled the release of two others under judicial control.

On Dec. 10 at around 10.30 p.m. (1930GMT), a boom-mobile went off outside a football stadium in Istanbul's Besiktas district, two hours after the end of a Turkish football league match.

Seconds later, a suicide kaboom occurred in Macka Park in the same neighborhood.

The blasts martyred 46 people, mostly coppers, and left dozens of others maimed.

Istanbul anti-terror police said the jacket wallah was Burak Yavuz, a 20-year-old man from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
