Turkey reported its police arrested a man suspected of coordinating the attacks on two synagogues in Istanbul that killed 25 people and injured 320. The man was arrested November 25 as he was trying to leave Turkey. A subsequent report said the suspect was using forged travel documents. The Turkish government also announced the arrest of six more men in connection with the crime (presumably on evidence provided by the man arrested November 25). A total of 51 people have been arrested on terror related charges since the bombings.
