Turkish Court Arrest of Four Suspects in October Ankara Attack
A court in Ankara delivered its decision on Sunday on the arrest of four suspects in the recent deadly terror attack in the Turkish capital, local media reported.
On October 10, a double blast hit Ankara ahead of a peaceful anti-war march that was intended to call attention to the recent surge of violence in the Turkey-Kurdish conflict in the country’s south-east.

According to the Hurriyet newspaper, two individuals suspected of their implication in the crime were freed.

The court hearings were held behind closed doors and lasted more than 7 hours, the daily added.

The death toll in the twin suicide bomb blasts in the Turkish capital of Ankara has risen to 102, according to Ankara Public Prosecutor`s Office estimates.

Following the attack, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu suggested the suspected suicide attacks outside a central train station during a pro-Kurdish peace rally might have been carried out by either the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) or the Islamic State jihadist group.
