Turkey arrests 23 in anti-Qaeda swoop
ISTANBUL: Turkish police detained 23 people suspected of being linked to Al Qaeda, state-run news agency Anatolian said on Wednesday.
The swoop is the latest of several in mainly Muslim but secular Turkey, which has been targeted by Al Qaeda militants in the past. Anatolian, quoting a statement from the provincial governor’s office, said the suspects were seized in the northwestern province of Bursa. Officials at the governor’s office could not confirm the details.
More than 60 people were killed in a series of attacks claimed by an Al Qaeda cell in Istanbul in November 2003. reuters
