Summary The sanctions come at a time when Turkey has been accused of supporting groups linked to al-Qaida.
ANKARA (AP) Turkey has imposed financial sanctions on some 350 people and dozens of organizations that have been blacklisted by the United Nations Security Council for alleged links to al-Qaida or the Taliban.
The move, made public late Thursday, would freeze any assets those individuals or groups may have in Turkey.
The sanctions come at a time when Turkey has been accused of supporting groups linked to al-Qaida which are launching attacks on Syrian President Bashar Assad s regime. Turkey denies backing those groups.
This month, Turkey s Interior Minister Muammer Guler said police had arrested 129 people in 104 operations targeting groups linked to al-Qaida groups since 2012. He did not give further details.
Militants tied to al-Qaida carried out attacks in Istanbul in 2003 that killed 58 people.
