Turkey blames PKK for Istanbul bombing

Turkey pointed the finger for a bombing in Istanbul on Tuesday, which targeted security forces and killed 11 people, including six police officers, on the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

    "All information and signs point to the PKK organization," Ibrahim Kalin, a spokesman for the Turkish Presidency, said Wednesday in Ankara, referring to the banned group. The attack injured 36 people.

    Meanwhile, on Wednesday, four people, including two police officers, were killed and around 30 injured in another car bombing in a town near the Syrian border in south-east Turkey, state-run news agency Anadolu reported.

    Officials have also placed the blame for that attack on the PKK which has been locked in battles with security forces in the area in recent months.
