ANKARA, Turkey -- More than 15,000 Turks, including judges, lawyers and students, marched in the Turkish capital Thursday to condemn an attack by a suspected Islamist gunman that killed a judge and wounded four others.

The gunman who opened fire on the judges inside Turkey's highest administrative court on Wednesday told authorities his attack was retaliation for a recent ruling against a teacher who wore an Islamic-style headscarf. Police captured him after the attack and on Thursday detained two other people for questioning."
