9 More Are Charged in Istanbul Bombings
From Times Wire Reports
A Turkish court charged nine more suspects with involvement in bombings that killed 62 people last month in Istanbul, bringing the total charged to 44.

Istanbul Gov. Muammer Guler told reporters that authorities had captured most of the alleged militants involved in the attacks, which targeted two synagogues, a London-based bank and the British Consulate. But he said several members of the cell remained at large abroad.
