    Turkish PM blames PKK for Istanbul blast

    Turkish Prime Minister Binaldi Yildirim blamed Kurdish underground PKK, Sunday, for Saturday night's explosions outside a soccer stadium in Istanbul. While arrests have been made, no organization has said it's behind the blasts, which killed 38 and wounded 155. Yildrim said there is "almost no doubt" about PKK's involvement.

    At Sunday's cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said, "Israel condemns all terrorism in Turkey and expects that Turkey will condemn all terrorist attacks in Israel. The fight against terrorism must be mutual. It must be mutual in condemnation and in countermeasures, and this is what the State of Israel expects from all countries it is in contact with, including Turkey."
