Istanbul Bomb - numerous casualties

[kevin3]

  It's reported on Sky that nine of the dead in the blast are German, so that's another sector of tourism that's likely to be hit.

  The Turkish PM has named the bomber as a 28 yr old Syrian member of ISIL.!!  Two speed detection rate I think.

  Following the assassination of the top Human Rights lawyer Tahir Elci in Diyarbakir last year, all the evidence including CCTV

  footage has been "lost".

Turns out he was Saudi born and had registered with the authorities about a week ago.  They identified him from a finger (he'd been fingerprinted when registering) that was still intact after the blast.

Talk about pointing the finger

My thoughts are with family and friends of the 10 people killed.

I'm sure all ours are too John. Merely wordplay no offence meant.

Well would you believe it. People of which nation were behind the Istanbul bombings?
