Deep mourning, fear and insecurity prevail in Turkey after double bomb
attack on Sunday evening, in the Gungoren district, in Konstantinopolis
killing 17 people, among them 4 children. Security authorities have
launched a manhunt while tens of suspects have been detained.
Prime-minister Tayip Erdogan has indirectly blamed Kurish rebels for
the blast and called the Turkish people who are concerned over
liquidity in the political scene linked to a long-running power
struggle between Turkeys secularist establishment and the
Islamist-rooted AK Party- to keep their unity. In the meantime, the PKK
(Kurdish Workers party) denies any involvement. In parallel, tension is
high waiting for Supreme Court ruling on whether to shut down the
ruling AKP party for Islamist activities.
