Bomb squads defused a second bomb on the body of the female suicide bomber who attacked a tourism police station in Istanbul Tuesday evening, Turkish police said.
Officer Kenan Kumas died and another policeman was injured in the attack in Sultanahmet district, a tourist area that houses the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia museum.
Istanbul's governor Vasip Sahin said the English-speaking bomber entered into the police station and reported a missing wallet before blowing herself up.
On Thursday, a man was arrested after throwing a grenade and shooting at a police booth in front of Dolmabahce Palace, near the prime minister’s office in Besiktas.
The attacker was reportedly a member of far-leftist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front.
