Turkish police have arrested for questioning eight people with alleged links to Kurdish rebels following bomb attacks against two small hotels in Istanbul and a liquefied petroleum gas plant, police officials said Wednesday.
A previously unknown Kurdish group claimed responsibility
for the pre-dawn bomb attacks Tuesday that killed two
people and wounded 11 others.
An al-Qaeda-linked group also claimed responsibility in a statement posted on a Web site, but Turkish authorities cast doubt on that claim, saying Kurdish separatists were suspected. (Albawaba.com)
