Turkey’s interior minister accused the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for a bombing in a busy Istanbul street that killed six people and wounded scores, saying more than 20 people have been arrested.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan landed in the Indonesian resort island of Bali for a G20 summit of the world’s leading economies, he described the bombing a “vile attack” before leaving for the summit and said it had a “smell of terror.”
The explosion tore through Istiklal Street, a popular shopping destination for locals and tourists, on Sunday afternoon. No individual or group has claimed the attack.
