TURKEY: 10 held over murders at Christian publisher

Turkish police have detained 10 suspects in the gruesome murder of three people at a publishing house that distributed bibles and Christian literature, officials said yesterday. The killings on Wednesday in the eastern city of Malatya had shocked the country, which is bidding for European Union membership.

The three victims, one of them a German, were found tied to chairs with their throats slit at the Zirve publishing house that had received threats for dealing in Christian literature.
