Woman killed in İstanbul bomb blast

10 February 2012 / AP, ANKARA
Turkey's state-run television says a woman was killed when a bomb she was carrying went off in İstanbul.

TRT television says police found the woman's body on a street in İstanbul's Sancaktepe neighborhood late on Thursday, shortly after residents reported an explosion.

Police were trying to determine whether the woman, who was in her 30s, was a suicide bomber or whether she was killed when the bomb went off prematurely, before she had the chance to plant it.

Members of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have staged bomb attacks, including suicide bombings, in the city in the past.
