The investigators of Hrant Dink's assassination informed that a group of nationalist teenagers are involved in the crime. The criminal grouping was headed by Yasin Hayal, who was earlier tried for setting a bomb at a McDonald's in Trabzon. According to Milliyet newspaper, 17-year-old Ogün Samast, arrested yesterday over suspicion of Dink's killing, received the gun from Hayal. At that both were members of the "Center of Islamic Order" ultra-right organization. The edition reminds that after the arrest in Trabzon Hayal shouted out in the court, "I did it to punish Americans. I'll get free in three years and will blow up HSBC Bank and the Russian Consulate."

Meanwhile Istanbul Prosecutor Aykut Cengiz Engin told journalists on Sunday that the investigation did not reveal involvement of any organization in Dink's killing. "The investigation is carried out in all directions. Presently seven people are being interrogated," he said. Samast said he committed the crime because of the journalist's writing. I am not sorry, he added, reports RIA Novosti.

International Herald Tribune says Yasin Hayal was trained to make bombs at a camp of Chechen militants in Azerbaijan.
