The United States on Sunday said the suicide bombing attack in central Istanbul was a 'shocking crime' and offered assistance in bringing the perpetrators to 'swift justice.'
Washington - US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was referring to the attack earlier in the day in front of a police station on Taksim Square that injured 32 people, 17 of them passers-by. Police defused a second bomb found after the attack.
In a statement, she noted that the attack had targeted 'innocent civilians in one of the city's busiest squares.' '
The United States will continue to work with Turkey to combat violent extremism and to safeguard the security of peace-loving people everywhere,' Clinton said. (DPA)
