Four of six suspects in the deadly bombing Oct. 10 in Ankara were arrested on Oct. 18.

An Ankara criminal court of peace ordered the arrest of the four suspects late Oct. 18 after an interrogation which lasted about seven hours. The two other suspects were released with a judicial control decision. 

Fifty individuals have been detained for alleged links to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Istanbul, the state-run Anadolu Agency has reported, in the wake of the Oct. 10 Ankara bombing that killed at least 102 civilians.

Turkish police arrested around 50 foreign nationals in Istanbul early on Oct. 18 in a sweep targeting jihadists of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) suspected of involvement in the Oct. 10 Ankara suicide bombings, reports said.
 
The raid focused on several apartments in the Pendik suburb on Istanbul's Asian side, the NTV news channel reported.
 

The legal restrictions imposed on the media over news of the Oct. 10 Ankara suicide bombings - in which the number of deaths hit 102 on Oct. 16 (with many heavily wounded victims still in hospital) - did not work well this time.

The two suspects over the deadly Oct. 10 suicide bombings in Ankara had previously been probed by Turkish prosecutors for alleged links to al-Qaeda, but the investigation was closed down, news website Radikal has reported.

The two suicide bombers who perpetrated Turkey's deadliest terrorist attack ever on Oct. 10 in Ankara have been identified, with one of them an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) member whose brother killed 33 people on July 20 in Suruç in a separate bombing.
