Turkey detains suspect in car bombings near Syrian border
None
Turkish police have detained a man they believe to be one of the main perpetrators of car bombings that killed more than 50 people near the Syrian border, officials said on Friday. Turkey has accused Syria of involvement in the two bombings last weekend in the town of Reyhanli, which fanned fears that Syria's civil war is dragging in neighboring states. Damascus denies any role.
Local governor Celalettin Lekesiz said police had detained a man shortly before midnight on Thursday in Samandag district, near the Syrian border, and that he was considered a prime suspect. (Reuters)
