At least 15 people and more than 150 others have been 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 said Istanbul's governor, Muammer Guler, who described the blasts as an act of terror. TV pictures 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 suspect Kurdish militants from the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) were responsible for the explosions.
