Police in Turkey arrest suspected leftist terrorists

Turkish security authorities arrested dozens of suspects early Wednesday affiliated with the outlawed Marxist-Leninist Communist Party (MLKP).    

Security teams raided multiple addresses simultaneously in Istanbul and arrested 24 suspects linked to the far-left terror group.  

The suspects are accused of disseminating propaganda for the MLKP.  

The MLKP was founded in 1994 and in 2007 was added to a list of active terror organizations in Turkey.
