Report: Istanbul bombing targeted Israeli envoy

Siting Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Turkey's hurriyet daily newspaper reported Monday that a bomb that exploded in Istanbul’s busy Etiler neighborhood on May 26 might have been the work of Lebanon’s Hezbollah instead of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.

The Italian daily reported that Hezbollah was targeting Israeli Consul General to Istanbul Moshe Kamhi in retaliation for Mossad’s alleged assassination of Iranian nuclear physicist Masoud Ali Muhammedi in Tehran in 2010. (Ynet)
