Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) has captured a suspect wanted in connection with the 2013 bombing in the southern Turkish town of Reyhanli, according to Anadolu Agency.
The suspect, identified as Syrian national Omer al-Khatib, was detained as he was allegedly preparing to flee to Europe by sea, the report said.
The May 2013 twin car bombings in Reyhanli, near the Syrian border, killed 53 people and remain one of the deadliest attacks on Turkish soil linked to the Syrian conflict.
Turkish authorities have pursued multiple suspects connected to the bombing in the years since the attack. Further details about the operation and any forthcoming legal proceedings against al-Khatib were not immediately available.
