Turkey: Istanbul bombing suspect arrested, says Internal affairs minister

The person who planted the bomb on Istanbul's Istiklal Street that killed at least six people has been arrested, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu told Turkey's official Anadolu news agency on Monday.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his vice president, Fuat Oktay, had earlier said that "a woman" was responsible for the attack, which Soylu did not immediately address on Monday.

Besides, Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu accused the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) on Monday of causing the bomb attack that killed at least six people in a busy Istanbul shopping thoroughfare. "According to our findings, the PKK terrorist organisation is responsible," Soylu said, announcing the arrest of a suspect accused of planting the bomb.
