A rush-hour car bomb attack targeting a bus carrying riot police killed 11 people and wounded 36 others June 7, 2016, in Istanbul, Turkey. The next day, a Kurdish rebel suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle outside a police headquarters near Turkey’s border with Syria, killing at least three people and wounding some 30 others, the prime minister said.
