Turkey: 16 killed as bombers target town square

Two bombs have exploded minutes apart in a crowded Istanbul square, killing 16 and injuring more than 150 in the deadliest attack against civilians in Turkey in almost five years.

Many people were injured in the second blast after they rushed to the area to help the casualties of the first explosion in the working-class Gungoren neighbourhood, witnesses said. The blasts were about 10 minutes apart.
