Istanbul Suicide Bombing Targeting Germans Kills 10

It appears that at least nine of the ten killed in the attack were Germans.

The story was picked up by CNN.

At least eight Germans died in the blast between the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque tourist attractions in Istanbul's cultural and historic heart, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, warning that figure may rise. A Turkish official earlier told CNN that at least nine Germans were killed. Davutoglu indicated that the 15 wounded were from inside and outside his country, with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier saying nine of those were German.

"They haven't just targeted those who died," Davutoglu said. "They have targeted the whole of Turkey and the whole world."
