3 suspects in fatal shooting of Arab Israeli businessman in Istanbul detained in Romania

Three suspects wanted in connection with the killing of an Arab Israeli businessman in Istanbul have been detained in Romania, Turkish police say.

Abdulkadir Anas was shot dead on Sunday evening as he sat in a car. Two other men were wounded, one who remains in critical condition.

The alleged assailants escaped across the Bulgarian border within 2.5 hours of the shooting in Istanbul’s Kagithane district. They will be brought back to Turkey, police say.

The Istanbul Governor’s Office says the attack was motivated by a dispute over money. Four people said to have been involved in planning the attack were arrested yesterday.
