Police raids across Turkey after deadly bombing attack

ISTANBUL (AP) — Police detained dozens of individuals linked to a Kurdish opposition party in country-wide raids, Turkish state media reported Monday.

Turkey, which is facing renewed conflict with Kurdish rebels in the southeast and has suffered a string of attacks related to the Islamic State group, is facing major security challenges.

A Turkey-based Kurdish faction, known as the Freedom Falcons Movement, claimed responsibility for twin bombings that struck shortly after the conclusion of a soccer match.
