Day 2: Turkish government REJECTS condolences from US government for recent terrorist bombing, explicitly denouncing US as abetting instigator - please pass the popcorn (47 arrests)
|
[Yahoo] Turkish police released a video of a female suspect being arrested on Monday (November 14) after a blast in Istanbul's main shopping street killed at least six people.
And the government blamed Kurdish militants for the explosion.
Istanbul police said on Monday it had arrested 47 people in relation to the attack, including Syrian woman Ahlam Albashir who is believed to have planted the bomb.
Police said that in initial questioning, the woman said she was trained by Kurdish militants in Syria and entered Turkey through northwest Syria's Afrin region.
Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said the Kurdistan Workers Party, also known as the PKK, and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia were responsible for the attack on the historic and bustling Istiklal Avenue on Sunday.
Soylu said the order for the attack was given in Kobani, a city in northern Syria.
Turkish forces have carried out operations there against the YPG in recent years.
Six Turkish citizens, two members each of three families, were killed in the attack, and dozen wounded.
In a statement on its website on Monday, the PKK denied involvement in the attack, saying it did not target civilians.
Earlier television news reports showed images of a person, who appeared to be a woman, leaving a package below a raised flower bed in the middle of the busy street.
Turkish authorities linked support for the YPG by Washington and others to the blast.
Soylu likened the U.S. condolences to "the murderer arriving as one of the first at the scene of the crime."
"We reject the condolences of the American embassy, we do not accept it. Our alliance with a state that sends money from its own Senate to these groups, feeding the terror zones in Kobani which aims to disturb Turkey's peace, is in a controversial situation. This is open and clear."
Turkey Arrests at Least 22 Suspects for Istanbul 'Vile Attack'
[KHAAMAPRESS] According to Ottoman Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu, the order for the blast on Istiklal Avenue was issued in Kobani, a city in northern Syria where Ottoman Turkish forces have recently conducted operations against the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia.
Ottoman Turkish media reported that the attack on Istanbul’s Istiklal Avenue left at least six persons dead and 81 injured, citing Ottoman Turkish authorities.
Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
 ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
said that the attack in Istanbul was a "vile attack," stating in a news conference that the attack "smelled like terrorism."
The historic Istiklal Avenue, a famous destination for shoppers and tourists with a tramline, was the scene of an explosive package being left by a person who appeared to be a woman, according to television news sources, according to Rooters.
The assertion by Ankara that Kurdish forces of Evil were responsible for the attack on Sunday comes amid a protracted conflict between Ottoman Turkish forces and the Kurdistan Workers Party known as PKK.
However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
no group or organization has taken responsibility for the Istanbul blast, despite the fact that Kurdish and other leftist movements have targeted Istanbul in the past after a twin blast in 2016 left at least 155 people injured and 38 dead.
