ISTANBUL - Investigators have found no connection with any known terrorist groups so far in relation with the murder of journalist Hrant Dink, an Istanbul chief prosecutor said on Monday.
"At this moment, there is no finding that would suggest the murder has any relation or link to any known ideological or separatist terrorist organization," Chief Prosecutor Aykut Cengiz Engin told the AA.
Dink, a prominent Turkish Armenian journalist and editor-in-chief of the bilingual Agos weekly, was killed by a gunman last Friday outside his newspaper offices in Istanbul.
Engin yet sounded cautious on the possibility that the incident might be an organized act of crime.
At least seven people, who were suspected of involvement in the murder, were also being questioned, Istanbul Police Chief Celalettin Cerrah said earlier today.
The detainees included a man with the initials Y.H., who was convicted of staging a bomb attack on a Mc Donald`s restaurant in the Black Sea city of Trabzon in 2004.
