Istanbul attack: We saw body parts, say eyewitnesses

January 12, 2016 15:23

Eyewitness said the explosion was very loud. "We shook a lot. We ran out and saw body parts," one woman who works at a nearby antiques store told a Reuters correspondent, declining to give her name.

Turkey has also become a target for Islamic State, with two bombings last year blamed on the radical Sunni Muslim group, in the town of Suruc near the Syrian border and in the capital Ankara, the latter killing more than 100 people. Kurdish, leftist and Islamist militants have all carried out attacks in Turkey in the past.
