   ANKARA, 5 nov (AFP) - Turkish police arrested 27 alleged members  
of an extreme leftist illegal organization on suspicion of planning 
attacks on the Turkish intelligence service (MIT), the Anatolia news 
agency reported Thursday. 
   The suspects who are alleged to be members of Revolutionary  
Popular Liberation Front (DHKP-C) were arrested last week in Ankara 
and accused of plotting attacks against MIT offices in Ankara. 
   They will be tried at the State Security Court in Ankara.  
   The police said explosives and some documents have also been  
seized in several houses situated at different parts of the 
capital. 
   The DHKP-C, a faction of Dev-Sol (Revolutionary Left) and an  
urban guerilla group, has been very active at the beginning of 
1990's. It is known to have killed many members of the security 
forces as well as retired generals and a former minister of 
Justice.
