#Turkey Detains 44 Suspected of Planning Attacks

Local Editor

A Turkish official said 44 people suspected of planning terror attacks linked to Kurdish militants had been detained in police operations, including suspects in two separate Istanbul attacks last year.

Istanbul governor Vasip Sahin said Thursday one of the detainees is suspected of organizing a December attack near a football stadium, killing 46 people. The governor said the man left the bomb-laden vehicle at the last minute.

Another is allegedly the organizer of a car bomb attack on a bus carrying riot police last June that killed 11.
