Syrian suicide bomber kills at least 10, many foreigners, in Istanbul
A ISIS terrorist blew himself up in a popular tourist district of Istanbul Tuesday January 12, 2016 killing at least 10 people and wounding at least 15 others. All of whom were foreigners and 9 of whom were German nationals. Other places were affected by the attack also because people from many different cultures were either killed or wounded. Peru's foreign ministry said the terrorist attack unfortunately killed a Peruvian man and wounded a Peruvian woman. At least 6 Germans were said to be wounded by the Turkish news agency Dogan reported, and Seoul's Foreign Ministry told reporters that one South Korean had a finger injury. The bomber was a 28-year-old Syrian national who wasn't on Turkey's terror watch list. Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus had a little confusion with the man because the perpetrator said the bomber was born in 1988 and was a Syrian national, but Dogan claimed the bomber was Saudi-born. "Turkey won't backtrack in its struggle against Daesh by even one step," Davutoglu said, referring to ISIS by its Arabic acronym. "This terror organization, the assailants and all of their connections will be found and they will receive the punishments they deserve."The U.S. condemned the "heinous attack" in "Istanbul's historic heart." The explosion, which could be heard from several neighborhoods near where the bomb was placed.It was placed at a park that is home to a landmark obelisk, some 25 yards from the historic Blue Mosque. The explosion went off approximately 10:20 a.m. local time, according to the Hurriyet newspaper. Erdem Koroglu was working at a nearby office when the explosion happened. "It was difficult to say who was alive or dead," Koroglu said. "Buildings rattled from the force of the explosion." Turkey has already suffered from 2 major bombing attacks last year. More than 30 people were killed in an ISIS suicide attack in the town of Suruc, near Turkey's border with Syria, in July. Two suicide bombs in October 2015 outside Ankara's main train station as people gathered for a peace rally killed more than 100 people. It was Turkey's deadliest attack. Last month, Turkish authorities arrested 2 suspected ISIS militants they said were planning suicide bombings during the New Year's celebrations in the capital. My thoughts on everything is that it's very sad to hear about all these suicide bombers because we have already seen a lot when it comes to the suicide bombers working for ISIS. It's bad enough they are even trying to bomb places during the holidays. It's a very sad topic to talk about and to read about.
