The Turkish authorities announced that the number of people arrested on charges of involvement in the recent attack on the court complex in Istanbul had risen to 90 people.

Yesterday, Tuesday, Turkish police killed two attackers from a left-wing group classified as “terrorist” by the authorities, after they attacked police officers guarding the Palace of Justice in Istanbul, killing one person and wounding 5, according to officials.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerli Kaya said that the attackers, a man and a woman, belonged to the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party Front, but the latter did not claim responsibility for the attack.

This far-left extremist group, which was founded nearly 50 years ago, does not usually attack the Turkish Armed Forces, but rather targets American “imperialist” interests and those of NATO.

It was added to the official list of terrorist organizations of the European Union and the United States, which offered $3 million in 2014 to capture their leaders.

In 2013, a suicide bomber blew himself up in front of the US Embassy in Ankara, killing a Turkish guard.
