Security General Directorate: Yasin Hayal inciter of Dink murder

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yasin Hayal, suspected of inciting the murder of prominent Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, established a group based on 'friendship' to act against Dink, the Security General Directorate noted in a report that was sent to the court, the Anatolia news agency reported.



Hayal had established the group because of the statements by Dink insulting Turkishness, after he was released from jail where he served time for bombing a McDonalds restaurant in Trabzon, the report said.



Hayal was the leader of the group and could order people in the group including the suspected assassin, according to the report. The report was sent upon the demand of the Court for Serious Crimes for information and documents about the alleged terror organization that was directed by the arrested suspects Yasin Hayal and Erhan Tuncel. Tuncel did not have any tiered connections with the group, the report claimed. It was disclosed after Dink's murder that Tuncel was a police informer and several times gave information that a plot will be conducted against Dink.



The trial was postponed to October 1, while four suspects charged for connections to Dink's murder were released after the hearing that lasted 12 hours, including the suspect Salih Hacasalihoglu, who is accused of providing the bullets for the murder.
