On-the-run terrorist faces trial over Sabanci murder
Fehriye Erdal, who went missing in Belgium last week, will face life in prison sentence if apprehended and extradited to go on trial in Turkey.
Erdal was sentenced to four years in prison by a Belgian court last week, along with six other defendants, who were found guilty on charges of possessing illegal weapons and false documents, despite pleading innocent to the charges against her. She wasn't found at the address where she was thought to be under house arrest last Tuesday. Brussels police went to the address she'd been at since 1999 to arrest her after Bruges Criminal Court made the ruling but couldn't find her, even though the Belgian Interior Ministry had ordered constant surveillance of the house. Making no public announcement, security officials stated that they'd lost track of Erdal. Some sources believe that she'd been plotting her escape and had left the house a few days ago. "
