BURDUR, Turkey (AA) – Prosecutors said Tuesday one person is now in custody in connection with the car used in Saturday’s deadly terrorist attack in central Turkey’s Kayseri province.

The car bomb attack targeted a bus carrying off-duty soldiers, martyring at least 14 soldiers and wounding 55 others.

The son of the car’s license holder was identified as a student at Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAEU) in the southwestern city of Burdur, and he was detained with three other students, all known supporters of the PKK terrorist organization, said a statement by Burdur Public Prosecutor Sadi Dogan.

One of the suspects was remanded in custody for propagandizing for a terrorist organization, while the others were released on judicial control, said Dogan.

Separately, Dogan also said that a soldier was also detained for allegedly spreading propaganda for the terrorist PKK in Burdur.
