Police have taken at least six men into custody over the attack in
the city of Malatya. Two of those killed were found with their legs
and arms tied. A fourth person was found critically injured at the
scene and was rushed to hospital.
According to Halil Ibrahim Dasoz, the provincial governor of Malatya,
one of the victims is believed to be a foreigner.
The attack is just the latest in a series against Christians in Turkey,
with a Catholic priest in the Black Sea city of Trabzon being shot
and killed last year and prominent Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrank
Dink being gunned down outside his office in Istanbul on January 19.
Dasoz said that an investigation was looking into whether the printing
house was illegally distributing bibles.
