A British citizen was among those arrested in an operation against a far-left militant group in Turkey after its members last week took hostage a prosecutor who died when armed police tried to free him, local media said on Monday. Stephan Shak Kacynski, a British national of Polish origin, was detained on Saturday as part of an operation against the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), the pro-government Daily Sabah newspaper said. A source from Britain's Foreign and Commonwealth Office confirmed that a UK national with that name had been held by the police and that he had been offered consular assistance, but gave no further details.
