A woman accused of dropping a backpack bomb on a busy pedestrian street in the historic center of Istanbul on Sunday has been arrested, along with nearly two dozen other suspects allegedly linked to Kurdish “terrorist groups,” Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu announced early on Monday.

The blast on the iconic Istiklal Avenue in Istanbul killed six people and injured 81, according to the latest tally. Five of the injured are in intensive care, including two in a critical condition.

“The person who had dropped the bomb was detained by our Istanbul Police Department teams,” Soylu told journalists after inspecting the blast site. The Interior Minister said the people who carried out the attack are believed to be linked to the Kurdish PKK/PYD groups, according to broadcaster TRT Haber.

Besides the alleged perpetrator, at least 21 persons of interest have been detained and questioned. The suspects “gave their statements about where they would go if they were not caught,” Soylu explained, leading to a preliminary “assessment that the order for the action came from Kobane” – a Kurdish-majority city right across the border in northern Syria.

    Wouldn’t want to be those who were ‘detained’. If Micron and Sholz by chance start trying to wriggle out of the NATO/EU doom loop they can expect some Gladio 2.0 therapy as well.
    The Turks will only double down on Asian Integration ( there is no Eurasian anymore) after this.

      Yep.

      Knowing Turkey, they simply rounded up the nearest Kurds and gave free dental work till they admitted complicity.

      And its the excuse they need for closer ties with CSTO.

        Yes, and what will be the response of the ‘west’ when one of these CSTO members ‘requests’ assistance from the rest? The precedent is being set and even the perceived justification by the west itself.
        Asian patience meets bitch/beta ‘strategy’.
