Police raids across Turkey after deadly bombing attack
ISTANBUL — Police detained dozens of individuals linked to a Kurdish opposition party in country-wide raids, Turkish state media reported Monday.
The reports did not specify whether the individuals detained were suspected of involvement in a Saturday bombing that killed at least 44 people and wounded 155 others.
That figure includes 36 police officers and eight civilians, according to health minister Recep Akdag, who was quoted by state-run Anadolu Agency.
The state-run news agency said at least 37 members of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party, or HDP, were detained early Monday in Istanbul and the capital, Ankara.
