ISTANBUL, March 10 (Xinhua) -- A Turkish court on Friday released a suspected Islamic State (IS) militant being tried over possible links to a deadly bombing attack that killed four foreigners in Istanbul last year, local media reported.
Erkan Capkin, accused of being an IS member, was freed from custody because of his health problems but not allowed to travel abroad, the Hurriyet Daily News reported.
According to Evrensel news portal, the prosecutor has demanded six times aggravated life imprisonment for Capkin.
The court decided to keep the other four suspects in custody, reports said.
A man named Mehmet Ozturk blew himself up in Istanbul's popular Istiklal Avenu on March 19, 2016, killing three Israelis and one Iranian.
