Turkey has arrested a total of seven suspects over a suicide bombing blamed on the Islamic State (IS) group that killed 10 German tourists in Istanbul, the Turkish interior minister said Thursday.
Ten people were killed and 15 wounded in a suspected terror attack in Istanbul's tourist hub on Tuesday, officials said, with the country on edge after a wave of deadly jihadist bombings.
A mortar attack was the cause of a deadly incident on December 23 at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport that left one person dead and damaged several planes, Turkish prosecutors said on Thursday.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled from Istanbul's two main airports after the city was hit by a picturesque but troublesome snowfall on the last day of the year.
