Turkish police have detained ten people in connection with the killing of three people, including a German, at a Bible publishing house in the mainly Muslim country, authorities said yesterday.

The three were found on Wednesday with their throats slit at the Zirve publishing house in Malatya, a city in the southeast of the country. Voicing shock across the country at the latest attack on Turkey’s small Christian minority, a headline in the Milliyet daily said: “The nightmare continues.”

It linked the new attack with the murders of Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink in January and an Italian priest last year.

Malatya Governor Halil Ibrahim Dasoz told reporters the number of people in custody had risen to 10 and that all were from the same age group. He gave no further details.
