Police teams in the Akçakale district of the southeastern province of Şanlıurfa on Feb. 2 detained nine people over the kidnap of the four-year-old son of a Syrian businessman. 

Syrian businessman Kasim el Ali's son, Ismail el Ali, and his friend Mahir Fayed were kidnapped by a group of armed men while Fayed was taking el Ali's son to his house to play with his children.

A retired colonel, who was shot in Istanbul's central Be?ikta? district with his wife on June 7, was reportedly using a fake ID and was the commander who led a military operation in which 10 student members of an illegal revolutionary group were killed in 1972.
