Izmir, aug 20, spa -- Turkish police arrested two suspected terrorist members of the banned Kurdish organization PKK-Kongra-Gel in the holiday resort of Cesme near Izmir, Turkish media reported Friday. Security forces found about 1.5 kilogram's of explosive devices and detonators during a house search, the reports said. The two brothers were being interrogated by anti-terror police in Izmir. It was unclear whether they had planned a terrorist attack. Ten days ago, two people were killed and 11 tourists injured when bombs exploded in two hotels in Istanbul. Last Wednesday, the Hurriyet newspaper reported that while an al- Qaeda-linked group known as the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades had claimed responsibility for the blast, Turkish police believe the attacks were the work of Kongra-Gel (People's Congress of Kurdistan) - the renamed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). --SPA 1457 Local Time 1157 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/193538
