ISTANBUL, Turkey, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Istanbul's governor blames the Kurdish separatist group PKK for a bombing in the Turkish city earlier this week.
Gov. Muammer Guler said although no one had claimed responsibility for the Tuesday blast, which left one woman dead, it was likely connected to a recent wave of arson fires also believed to be the handiwork of the Kurdistan Workers Party, known by it Kurdish initials of PKK and designated by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist group.
