Al-Madina News:- The Turkish Security Directorate said, on Monday, that the suspects of the bombing that occurred on Istiklal Street in Istanbul, on Sunday, killed 6 people and wounded 81 people, “I entered the country with another person 4 months ago.
”
The directorate said that the Syrian, Ahlam al -Bashir, and a man with her, were pretending to be a husband and wife so that they did not know their identity, and they were working in a weaving workshop, according to the new information reported by the Al -Hurra channel.
The information indicates, according to the Turkish security, that the man who was with her was the “link with the Kurdish People’s Protection Units” and is responsible for communicating with it in Kobani, and that Al -Bashir began to receive training as an intelligence member within the PKK/ People’s Protection Units about a year ago.
The search for the man is still ongoing, according to the Turkish Security Directorate.
The police had arrested a woman who was suspected of planning the bomb as a campaign that included the arrest of 47 people.
The Turkish government has accused the Kurdish militants. The Interior Minister, Suleiman Sweilo, said that the Kurdistan Workers Party and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units are responsible for the bombing.
He said: “We believe that the attack was issued by Kobani,” the border city with Turkey, located in the areas of the Syrian Democratic Forces in the north and northeastern Syria.
For his part, the PKK denied that it had any role in the explosion that shook the Istiklal Street in Istanbul on Sunday, and said in a statement: “We will not target civilians directly and do not accept actions targeting civilians.
”
In turn, the Syrian Democratic Forces, which the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, the most prominent factions, denied any relationship with the bombing, according to its general commander, Mazloum Abdi.
Abdi denied, on Monday, his forces were involved in the attack, saying: “We confirm that our forces have nothing to do with the Istanbul bombing, and we reject the allegations that accuse our forces.
”
Ankara has classified the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, a “terrorist” organization and is an extension of the PKK, which has been waging a rebellion against it for decades.
Turkey, the European Union and the United States consider the PKK a terrorist organization.
But Washington supported the People’s Protection Units in the Conflict in Syria, which smartest tension between the United States and Turkey, the two countries in NATO.
Turkey carried out 3 invasive operations targeting the YPG in northern Syria, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said this year that there is another imminent operation.
The bombing that took place on the crowded street in Istanbul won the lives of “entire families”, whose members were spending the Sunday holiday at the place known to be the “heart of Istanbul”, and the spot that beats with passers -by and tourists.
