January 15, 2016 04:26

Seven more people have been detained in connection with this week's suicide bombing in Istanbul's Sultanahmet Square, Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala said Thursday.

The blast killed 10 German tourists and wounded several other people.

"A detailed and sensitive investigation and analysis of the event is ongoing," Ala said.

But just as officials tried to reassure nervous tourists, a new blast rocked Turkey -- an attack on a police headquarters in the Cinar district of Turkey's southeastern province of Diyarbakir, Turkey's semiofficial Anadolu Agency reported, citing local officials.
