ISTANBUL, Jan 20

Turkish police have released images of a man suspected of killing
journalist Hrant Dink, one of Turkey”s most prominent ethnic
Armenians, as the government came under fire for failing to protect
him despite nationalist threats, AFP reported.

The footage, reportedly taken from the security cameras of shops in
the street where the 53-year-old Dink was shot dead Friday, showed a
lean, young man clad in a denim jacket and jeans and wearing a white
beret.

The suspect, whose identity remained unknown, was holding an object,
which officials said was a gun, under his jacket.
