Ankara to name perpetrators of Tuesday`s terrorist attack soon - Erdogan
Turkish authorities will soon name those responsible for a terrorist attack that took place earlier on Tuesday in the city of Istanbul, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
Seven police officers and four civilians were killed and dozens of civilians were injured in Tuesday`s explosion in a central Istanbul district. The explosion took place at 8:40 a.m. local time (05:40 GMT), when a car with police officers was crossing the street close to the place, where the bomb was planted.

"We will continue the resolute fight against terrorists. I hope soon we will identify the organization responsible for this terrorist attack. I express condolences to relatives of the victims," Erdogan told journalists.

Two wounded individuals are in an intensive care unit, others are in stable condition, Erdogan added.
