Diyarkbakir: Seven suspects were remanded in custody on Saturday pending a trial over a deadly car bombing in Turkey's main city, court sources said.
Among the suspects is the alleged bomber, believed to be a member of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and six others accused of helping him, the sources said.
Judicial officials say the suspected bomber has confessed to carrying out the bombing on orders from the PKK. The court released an eighth person who was not charged.
Police said they were questioning another man over the January 3 bombing in Diyarbakir, which killed at least six people and wounded 67 others.
