ISTANBUL (A.A) -22.01.2007 -Investigators have found no connection
with any known terrorist groups so far in relation with the murder
of journalist Hrant Dink, an Istanbul chief prosecutor said on Monday.
"At this moment, there is no finding that would suggest the murder has
any relation or link to any known ideological or separatist terrorist
organization," Chief Prosecutor Aykut Cengiz Engin told the AA.
Dink, a prominent Turkish Armenian journalist and editor-in-chief of
the bilingual Agos weekly, was killed by a gunman last Friday outside
his newspaper offices in Istanbul.
Engin yet sounded cautious on the possibility that the incident might
be an organized act of crime.
At least seven people, who were suspected of involvement in the murder,
were also being questioned, Istanbul Police Chief Celalettin Cerrah
said earlier today.
The detainees included a man with the initials Y.H., who was convicted
of staging a bomb attack on a Mc Donald's restaurant in the Black
Sea city of Trabzon in 2004.
