Syria has turned over to Turkey 22 suspects who may have been involved in four human bomb attacks that killed 61 people in Istanbul, according to media reports.
The suspects escaped Turkey in the days following the November attacks, the state-run Anatolian news agency reported on Sunday, quoting a statement from the Ankara security services.
Several of the detained are believed to have links with Azad Ekinci, who investigators suspect was a key planner of the bombings, the agency added. Ekinci is believed to have escaped Turkey.
Turkey has charged 21 people in the attacks that struck two Istanbul synagogues on 15 November and the offices of British-based bank HSBC and the British consulate five days later.
