A suicide bombing in central Istanbul injured 15 police and 17 civilians, said the city’s Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu. Five of the policemen were “heavily injured,” he said.
The male bomber, who died in the attack, attempted to board a police minibus in Taksim Square in the Turkish city at 10:40 a.m., said Mutlu at a press conference today. It wasn’t immediately clear who was responsible for the blast, which he described as “a crime against humanity.”
