President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that initial signs point to a “terror” attack in the explosion in Istanbul which killed six people and wounded 53 others.

“It might be wrong if we say for sure that this is terror but according to first signs… there is a smell of terror there,” Erdogan tells a televised press conference.
