I'm betting on DHKP/C terrorists...time will tell. Though some reports say a tourist group has been targetted....it could be Daesh as well.

The blast may have been caused by a suicide bomber, Haberturk said, without citing its sources. There was no official word on the case of the blast, which took place in Istanbul’s historic Sultanahmet square, a major tourist attraction in Turkey’s most populous city.

Police have sealed off a central Istanbul square in the historic Sultanahmet district.

We should start revising how Istanbul is being policed. It's obvious we are lacking a lot. If I had any influence Id recommend the government to take a look at the tactics, doctrines and equipment used by the NYPD and how they keep New York safe.

Allah rahmet eylesin...
