15 dead, 154 injured in Istanbul double bombing: TV

1 hour, 10 minutes ago

Two bombs exploded in Istanbul overnight, leaving at least 15 people dead and 154 others wounded, officials announced.

The first bomb created a small blast in a rubbish bin in the Gungoren neighbourhood on the western European bank of the Turkish city.

A second stronger explosion took place several minutes later a few metres (yards) away while a crowd began to gather at the site of the first blast, NTV reported.

The images broadcast by NTV showed scenes of panic, with people covered in blood and disoriented as they ran from the area of the blasts, littered with debris and shattered glass.

Teams of firefighters and emergency workers were dispatched to the scene and police established a security perimeter.

Local television stations had initially reported that the blasts were caused by a gas leak.

Must be those dastardly Christians responding to the recent desecration of a consecrated Host by that wacko college professor.

So India and Turkey (trending Muslim) are now under fire and the focus of activity by the bustards. It will be interesting to see how they will react. Will they adopt the Obamasiah’s magic talk about tearing down the walls that divide us, or the George Bush approach of sending the creeps to Allah?

Ahhh yes, those walls of mistaken ideas that keep us from Utopia..

Obama tried to be so clever with his allusion to Reagan’s wall in Berlin. Now it’s walls of misunderstanding that separate us, eh Obama?

What a fool.

Too bad good Hindus are vegetarians. They could eat the Muslims, otherwise. Problems solved, Five Cents.

I don't know the ratio in India, but it is Turkey that I meant as trending Muslim. I can only suspect that the attacks in India are meant to make trouble with Pakistan, but I don't know that.

But of course, that is all the Religion of Peace is doing, tearing down the walls . . . with bombs.
