Suicide Bomb attack in Istanbul's Taksim Square, 22 injured

22 people were injured in an attack by an apparent suicide bomber Sunday morning in Istanbul’s Taksim Square, the Doğan news agency reported.

The attack happened around 10:30 a.m. in an area cordoned off for police officers and police vehicles on the north side of the busy square.

The incident was most probably a suicide attack by Kurdish (PKK) Terrorists, Istanbul Police Chief Hüseyin Çapkın said in a statement.

He said six of the injured were civilians and nine were police officers.

Two seriously injured police officers were taken into emergency care at ÅžiÅŸli Etfal Hospital.

Taksim Square was closed down entirely to pedestrian and vehicle traffic as a precaution against a possible second attack.

    • Damn straight. And the Israeli will always be thankful for the support we get from Kurds (even though our government has acted shamefully at times in that regard. I for one will never forget the first time I heard about that Kurdish guy who defected to Israel from Iraq during the cold war with that soviet made MIG. The intelligence gathered from that MIG was eventually shared with the US (who got to look it over almost the second it landed) and all the western countries. All of us owe a debt of More..

  • istanbul police chief ate shit...PKK denied any involvement in this attack a few hours ago by releasing an official statement. Its a habit these incompetent cops have, whatever happens they blame it on PKK. How abt if i say JITEM, ERGENEKON or Turkish Hizbolla are behind this attack? wouldnt it be then more likely?

    PKK has been under one sided ceasefire for more than a month and has never carried out "suicide" attacks. when they attack, they attack military posts not freakin Islamic- More..
