Authorities today released 12 members of the Turkish Youth Union (TGB) who were arrested for assaulting three US sailors yesterday in Istanbul. The US Navy, Turkish national police, and the US Embassy are working together to investigate the incident. Authorities have arrested 386 people in connection with protests in early October against the Islamic State’s attack on Kobane and the Turkish response to it. Turkish and American officials met in Ankara to discuss the training and equipping of Syrian rebels.
