ANKARA – Doğan News Agency

Another suspect was arrested on Feb. 24 over a deadly car bomb attack in the Turkish capital that killed at least 29 people and left 61 injured on Feb. 17, as the number of arrested suspects has reached 15 in total.

Following the arrest of 14 suspects on Feb. 22, police detained three more suspects as a part of the investigation. One, however, was released after an interrogation by a prosecutor while another was released on probation. 

Meanwhile, an Ankara court ruled for the arrest of the last suspect on Feb. 24.

The deadly Feb. 17 attack at the heart of Ankara was the second attack to hit the Turkish capital after alleged ISIL militants bombed a large peace rally on Oct. 10, 2015, killing 102 people.
