ANKARA Turkish authorities have detained 568 people over alleged links to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group in the last two days, the interior ministry said on Tuesday.

The operations, which followed the twin bombing in Istanbul on Saturday that killed 44 people outside a soccer stadium, were launched in 28 provinces across Turkey from the northwest to the southeast, the ministry said in a statement.
