10 suspects linked to attack on Turkish publishing house arrested
ANKARA, April 19 (KUNA) -- Ten people were arrested Thursday following an
attack on a publishing house in Malatya province, east of Turkey.
Malatya governor Halil Ibrahim Dasoz told Anadolu News Agency that five of
the suspects attacking "Zirve" publications for books and leaflets on
Christianity were put under arrest while the others were still interrogated.
Dasoz revealed the investigations were still ongoing, adding that whether
the attack was terror motivated still remained to be seen.
The governor revealed that the status of one of the suspects who jumped
from the building's third floor prevented the police from holding
investigations.
Yesterday's attack resulted in the death of three people, one of them was a
German national, while one person was injured.
According to media here, the publishing house received threats in the past
but the owners did not seek security assistance. (end)
