Turkey's state-run news agency says police have detained
six people in connection with a bomb attack near a police station in Istanbul
that wounded 10 people.
Authorities say Thursday's attack — carried out with a
bomb mounted onto a motorcycle — was the work of the outlawed Kurdistan
Worker's Party, or PKK.
The Anadolu Agency says Friday the suspected bomber was
detained overnight in the central Turkish province of Aksaray. Two other people
traveling with him inside a vehicle were also detained. Police in Istanbul
later detained three other suspected accomplices, the agency reported.
PKK has been waging a three-decade-long insurgency that
has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984. Violence flared anew last
year with the collapse of a 2½-year cease-fire.
