Thirteen die in Istanbul blasts
Injured people in Istanbul


At least 13 people have been killed in two explosions in Istanbul, which the governor of the Turkish city has described as terror attacks.

The first blast occurred in a telephone booth and the second went off as crowds gathered. About 70 people were wounded.

TV footage showed bloodied men and women lying on the street and being carried to ambulances in blankets.

The blasts occurred at 2200 local time (1900 GMT) in the Gungoren district of the city, popular with local people

    They were playing it by ear and finding a hotel where they could, so no one really knows. He's supposed to be home next week.
    I guess I'll find out tonight. He usually texts when I'm asleep.
    Scared!!
