Suicide attack suspects planned attack on Turkish capital Ankara: Police

Two suspected suicide attackers, including a suspect in the killing of leading industrialist Özdemir Sabanc? in 1996, were planning a terrorist attack in the Turkish capital of Ankara, according to a police statement. 

?smail Akkol and Fadik Ad?yaman, suspected members of the outlawed Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), were detained in the Söke district of the western province of Ayd?n at a bus terminal on Feb. 2. Both guns and a grenade were seized amongst their belongings. 

The Ayd?n governor's office said a rocket launcher, one grenade, one pistol, one "assassination gun," magazines, 91 bullets and other ammunition were found.

Police said the suspects arrived in Söke from the touristic destination of Didim. 

Söke police realized the duo possessed fake IDs of "Hatice Çal??kan" and "Zeynel Abidin Gümü?," in order to disguise their own identities while travelling from Söke to Eski?ehir before reaching Ankara. 

The police also found out the IDs were illegally duplicated, and that the two real ID holders had no ties to the organization. Çal??kan and Gümü? were released after an interrogation by an attorney general. 

Police officials said Akkol would undergo a DNA test to confirm his identity, as no record of his fingerprints was ever found. 

Akkol's and Ad?yaman's lawyer, Oya Aslan, said her clients were tortured during their detainment. 

The lawyer said the suspects chanted that they would bring to account those responsible for the killings of 15-year-old Berkin Elvan and Dilek Do?an.
