Istanbul's governor says that 13 people have been killed and at least 70 injured in two consecutive explosions in a residential area in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
The explosions took place within ten minutes of each other in what the governor, Muammer Guler, described as a terrorist attack. Turkey's NTV news reported that a second bomb exploded as people rushed to the scene of the first bombing to help the blast victims. TV showed ambulances carrying badly wounded people to hospital in the Gungoren district of Turkey's biggest city. The governor said the bombs were in rubbish bins and that it was not a suicide bombing. Turkish authorities believe Kurdish militants were responsible for the explosions.
