    Authorities took 30 people in custody in a major police operation in
    Istanbul code named "Ergenekon" against an ultraright wing gang.

    Among the detained were underworld figure Drej Ali as well as retired
    General Veli Kucuk and Kemal Kerincsiz.

    Fuat Turgut, lawyer of Yasin Hayal who allegedly incited O.S. to kill
    Hrant Dink, Turkish journalist of Armenian descent, was also taken
    into police custody on Tuesday.

    The investigation has reportedly been carried out in connection with
    explosives seized in a shanty house in Umraniye district of Istanbul.

    Turgut was caught in the Aegean province of Izmir and was sent to
    Istanbul for interrogation.
