Turkey said on Monday it had arrested 46 people, including the perpetrator, in relation to the deadly bomb attack in central Istanbul at the weekend, which left six people dead.
Photos and video posted by Turkish media showed police storming an apartment where they held a Syrian woman named Ahlam Albashir, whom they claimed had left an explosives-filled bag on a bench along Istiklal Street, a mile-long pedestrian avenue filled with shops, cultural sites and diplomatic outposts.
