Interpol has issued a warning to Turkey’s neighboring countries regarding a suspect in the deadly explosion in Istanbul.
According to the Interpol signal, a person allegedly involved in the explosion that led to the bloodbath in Istanbul is in Bulgaria and has issued a signal to neighboring countries, among them Greece, so that he will be arrested if he crosses the border.
The authorities have launched a manhunt to identify the perpetrators of the bloody attack that claimed the lives of six people while another 81 civilians were injured.
A woman in the hands of the authorities
The name of the woman who allegedly bled on the Istiklal pedestrian street in Istanbul was released by the Turkish authorities.
This is Ahlam Albasir, originally from Syria, with the authorities releasing a photo of the suspect after her arrest.
As the Istanbul police announced, the alleged perpetrator of the explosion is of Syrian origin and admitted during the interrogation that she was trained by Kurdish rebels and that she entered Turkey from the Afrin province of Syria.
The woman is accused of acting on the orders of the “PKK terrorist group based in Kobani, Syria”. 
Kurds or ISIS behind the attack?
Turkey blamed Kurdish rebels for the blast that killed six people on a busy shopping street in Istanbul, and police arrested a Syrian woman suspected of planting the bomb and also arrested 46 other people.
Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu said the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia were responsible for the blast.
Ankara maintains that the YPG is a wing of the PKK. The US has supported the YPG in the conflict in Syria, resulting in friction with NATO ally Turkey.
Albasir is seen in handcuffs in a video broadcast by state broadcaster TRT Haber. He has curly hair and wears a red jumpsuit with the words “New York” written on it.
The PKK denies any involvement
“We have nothing to do with this incident and it is public knowledge that we would not directly target civilians, nor would we condone actions directed against civilians,” the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) said in a statement on the powerful explosion that occurred in Istanbul and claimed the lives of six people.
“We are a movement waging a just and legitimate struggle for freedom… It is definitely out of the question to target the civilian population in any way in Turkey,” the statement, which was broadcast by the Firat news agency, underlined.
Finally, the PKK accused the Turkish government of having “dark plans” and “pointing to Kobani as a target”.
