A Turkish court on Tuesday charged a Turkish man with aiding and abetting terrorists after police found enough chemical fertilizer in his home to fill five truck bombs like those used in the Istanbul suicide bombings last month, news reports said.
An arrested relative of Habip Aktas, a suspected leader of al-Qaida in Turkey, helped lead police to the 12 large sacks of chemical fertilizer at the home of Mehmet Kus in Istanbul, the daily Vatan and Sabah newspapers reported. Private NTV television carried a similar report.
Cables and explosives were also seized in the raid at the house, Sabah reported. The fertilizer was the same as that used to make the bombs in the four attacks, according to Vatan and Sabah.
