- The Turkish journalist Can Dündar on Friday survived an attack in front of the court in Istanbul. He was unharmed when he was shot. The perpetrator was arrested, according to Turkish media.

Dündar is editor of the newspaper Cumhuriyet. Along with Erdem Gül, the correspondent of the newspaper in the capital Ankara, he is on trial.
