Arrest made in Turkish editor's killing

Police on Saturday arrested a man suspected in the slaying of an ethnic Armenian journalist, acting on a tip from the suspect's father after his pictures were broadcast on television, a police official said.

The suspect, who authorities identified earlier as Ogun Samas, was caught on a bus in the Black Sea city of Samsun, the official said on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not yet been made.

Hrant Dink, the 52-year-old editor of the Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos, was gunned down outside his newspaper's office on Friday. Most Turks assume he was targeted for his columns saying the killing of ethnic Armenians by Turks in the early 20th century was genocide.
