Istanbul bombing: Death toll rises to 16
The death toll in Sunday’s double bombing in Istanbul rose to 16 on Monday, the government said, just hours before Turkey’s top court was to start deliberations on whether to ban the ruling party. One of the more than 150 injured succumbed to his injuries in hospital overnight, Health Minister Recep Akdag said, quoted by the Anatolia news agency. The death toll could rise further, as seven people remain seriously injured, said Akdag, who added that the fatalities included children.
