Turkish police have captured a Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant whom they suspect carried out a "motorbike bomb" attack on Thursday that wounded 10 people near an Istanbul police station, the state-run Anadolu Agency said on Friday.
It said a total of six people had been detained in connection with the attack in the Yenibosna neighborhood, several kilometers from Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, Turkey's largest airport.
The suspected perpetrator was captured with a fake identity card in the central province of Aksaray, traveling in a car with two other people, Anadolu said.
Television footage released after the explosion on Thursday showed damaged vehicles, shattered glass and broken windows in the residential area, along with the mangled wreckage of a motorbike to which the bomb was attached.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility. The PKK launched a separatist insurgency in 1984 in which more than 40,000 people have been killed. The conflict flared up again in July last year after the collapse of a two-year-old ceasefire.
The PKK is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union. Leftist and Islamist groups have also carried out bomb attacks across Turkey in the past, with Islamic State blamed for some recent attacks.
The last blast in Istanbul was in June, a month before an attempted coup to overthrow President Tayyip Erdogan's government, when 45 people were killed in a triple suicide bombing at the airport. That attack was blamed on Islamic State.

UN humanitarian convoy. Carrying “moderate” medications, diapers, and air fresheners. You say “these pics don’t prove anything”? Well, less clear photos are always enough for US Department of State to blame anybody for anything.

Two militants believed to be preparing a car bomb attack detonated explosives, killing themselves in a remote area near Ankara on Saturday after Turkish police told them to surrender, the provincial governor said.
The militants, believed to be one male and one female, probably had ties to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) armed group, Ercan Topaca told reporters at the scene of the blast outside the capital.
"It looks like there is a high probability of a PKK link," Ankara Governor Ercan Topaca said in comments broadcast by CNN Turk.
Video footage showed forensic teams in white overalls inspecting the site as police secured the area around a hut in flat countryside on the road to the town of Haymana.
"A big disaster was prevented. They were probably going to attack Ankara," Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said in an interview with broadcaster CNN Turk, also pointing the finger at the PKK.
"...Turkey is in a critical position. There are clashes in Syria and Iraq and sources of terror there."
The PKK leadership is based in the mountains of northern Iraq and the Kurdish YPG militia in Syria has close ties to the group. A Turkey-backed rebel operation in northern Syria aims to push both jihadist group Islamic State and YPG forces away from the border.
The state-run Anadolu news agency said President Tayyip Erdogan had convened a meeting with security officials in Istanbul for 1230 GMT, without specifying a reason.
Police seized two pieces of plastic explosives and 200 kg (440 pounds) of ammonium nitrate at the scene of Saturday's explosion, the governor's office said in a statement.
Ammonium nitrate is an ingredient in bomb-making.
The office said security forces moved against the militants around 6:00 am (0300 GMT) at a stud farm some 30 km (19 miles) from the capital after a tip-off from Diyarbakir, the main city in the Kurdish heartland of southeast Turkey.
An identity card found at the scene, believed to belong to one of the would-be bombers, was of a man from the southeastern province of Bingol. A third individual was also being sought, the governor said.

Nine Turkish soldiers were killed and more than 20 people were wounded on Sunday when suspected Kurdish militants detonated a car bomb that ripped through a checkpoint near a police station in the country's southeast, security sources said.
The blast hit the Durak gendarmerie station, 20 km (12 miles) from the town of Semdinli, in a mountainous part of Hakkari province near the border with Iraq and Iran, where Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants are active.
Soldiers looked on as locals wandered amid mangled wreckage and debris from the explosion at a checkpoint where vehicle searches are conducted, video footage on CNN Turk showed.
Authorities were on high alert for possible attacks on Sunday, 18 years to the day since PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan fled Syria before being captured by Turkish special forces in February the following year.
He has since been in prison on an island near Istanbul.
On Saturday, a man and a woman who authorities suspect were PKK militants preparing a car bomb attack, detonated explosives and killed themselves near the capital Ankara in a stand-off with police.
Violence has flared in Turkey's southeastern Kurdish heartland in recent days.
On Saturday, 12 people were killed, including eight PKK fighters. Four civilians were killed by gunfire from an armored police vehicle in the town of Yuksekova near the Iranian border.
On Thursday, a bomb attack near a police station in Istanbul wounded 10 people. The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK), a PKK offshoot, claimed responsibility for that blast.
The PKK, which launched a separatist insurgency in 1984, is designated a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
A two-year ceasefire between the group and Turkish authorities collapsed in July last year and the violence subsequently rose to levels not seen since the height of the conflict in the 1990s.
The surge in violence coincides with a Turkish military operation in northern Syria in support of rebels and designed to drive away from the border Islamic State militants and a Syrian Kurdish militia closely linked to the PKK.
President Tayyip Erdogan chaired a security summit with the head of the armed forces and ministers in Istanbul on Saturday, but details of the meeting have not been disclosed.

How can PKK send a car next to our Karakols? It is a KARAKOL, it is not possible unless someone inside the karakol opens the door.
I still think those are FETÖ soldiers' inside job. One FETÖ officer, and the door of karakol is open. I cant see any other possiblity.
