Suicide bomber kills 10,
wounds 15 in Istanbul
tourist area
ISTANBUL (AP) — A suicide
bomber detonated a bomb in the
heart of Istanbul’s historic district
on Tuesday, killing 10 foreigners
— most of them German tourists
— and wounding 15 other people
in the latest in a string of attacks
by the Islamic extremists targeting
Westerners.
The blast, just steps from the
historic Blue Mosque and a former
Byzantine church in the city’s
storied Sultanahmet district, was the
¿rst by IS to target Turkey’s Yital
tourism sector, although IS militants
haYe struck with deadly effect
elsewhere in the country.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
'aYutoglu said the bomber was a
member of IS and pledged to battle
the militant group until it no longer
“remains a threat” to Turkey or the
world.
'aYutoglu described the assailant
as a “foreign national,” and Deputy
Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus
said he was a Syrian citizen born in
1. +oweYer, the priYate Dogan
news agency said the bomber
was Saudi-born. Kurtulmus said
the attacker was belieYed to haYe
recently entered Turkey from Syria
and was not among a list of potential
bombers wanted by Turkey.
Eight Germans were among the
dead and nine others were wounded,
some seriously, German Foreign
Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier
told reporters in Berlin.
House approves bill to
sanction North Korea
after nuke test
WASHINGTON (AP) — House
Republicans and Democrats
joined together Tuesday to
oYerwhelmingly approYe
legislation that aims to punish
North Korea for conducting its
latest nuclear test.
Wednesday, January 13, 2016
Just hours ahead of President
Barack Obama’s ¿nal State of
the Union address, lawmakers
passed the North Korea Sanctions
Enforcement Act by a Yote of
418-2. The bill proposes stronger
sanctions that deny Pyongyang
the money it needs for deYeloping
miniaturized nuclear warheads and
the long-range missiles to deliYer
them, according to the legislation’s
backers.
Cutting off North Korea’s access
to cash also makes it dif¿cult for
Pyongyang to pay its army and
police forces, said Rep. Ed Royce,
R-Calif., chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
“What we are concerned about
here is the miniaturization of
nuclear warheads that ¿t onto its
most reliable missiles,” Royce said
Monday on the House Àoor. “This
threat is unacceptable, and it has to
be aggressiYely challenged.”
The White House does not
oppose the House sanctions bill,
said a senior administration of¿cial
who was not authorized to speak
publicly about the legislation
and requested anonymity. The
administration is deeply concerned
about North Korea’s recent actions,
the of¿cial said, and will continue
to use existing sanctions authorities
to preYent ¿nancial support for
North Korea’s nuclear and missile
programs.
