Güler: We Found Live Bomb Materials

At a press conference at the Istanbul Security Directorate, Guler gave account on part of information acquired in raids after March 9.

Guler said that 18 people were detained so far and 10 of these were put before court and 8 were under interrogation. "Even though we do not say that these 18 people have Al-Qaeda connections, some of these received training in Afghanistan. As you know, Al-Qaeda has big influence on these camps" Guler said.

He said that none of the 18 were found to have organizational links but "Interrogations showed that they share the same thought."

Guler stressed that the materials found, were live-bomb tools.

He said that one of those captured Monday, was among the killers of Dentist Yasef Yahya.
