Turkish Deputy PM Says Kurdish Terrorist PKK May Be Behind Istanbul Attack
Turkey's Deputy PM said that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) may be behind the attack
ANKARA: Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said on Sunday that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) may be behind the attack that killed 29 people and wounded 166 outside a soccer stadium in Istanbul.

In comments broadcast on CNN Turk, Kurtulmus also said that countries offering messages condemning the bombing should also show solidarity with Turkey's fight against terrorism.

"The arrows point at the PKK. It is clearly a planned event. There will be an announcement once the investigations are over. We cannot say anything definite for now," Kurtulmus said.
