10 hurt in bomb attack near Istanbul police station

A bomb placed on a motorcycle exploded on Thursday near a police station in Istanbul, wounding at least 10 people, a senior official said.

 

Vasip Sahin, the governor for Istanbul, told reporters at the scene in the Yenibosna district that none of the injured was in serious condition, retracting an earlier statement that one person was seriously hurt.

 

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which could be heard from the city's nearby Ataturk Airport. Sahin said the investigation was ongoing and of the victims Thursday were civilians.
