Tuesday’s blast targeted a square in the Sultanahmet district, an area usually crowded with tourists who want to visit the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
A suicide bomber said by Turkey to be affiliated with Islamic State was responsible for a blast near Istanbul’s grandest tourist attractions that has left 10 people dead and 15 wounded.
