Two more suspects were arrested Saturday over Friday's gun attack targeting Turkish journalist Can Dundar, who was on trial in Istanbul's Caglayan courthouse on charges of revealing state secrets.
According to the Istanbul Police Department, the suspects were reported to be associates of the gunman arrested at the scene, identified as Murat S. Their arrest brings the number of detained suspects to three.
Dundar was not wounded in the attack, but a Turkish news channel correspondent, Yagiz Senkal, was slightly injured.
Following the attack, Dundar, the editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet newspaper, and Erdem Gul, the paper's Ankara bureau chief, were convicted by an Istanbul court and sentenced to five years and 10 months and five years in prison, respectively.
