United States Condemns Bomb Attacks In Turkey

ANKARA - The United States condemned on Monday two bomb attacks staged in the Turkish city of Istanbul.
The United States condemned Sunday night's bombing in Istanbul, a statement by the U.S. Embassy in Ankara said.
In the statement, the United States offered its deepest condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of the victims of the attack, which it defined as a violent and insidious act.
"There is no justification for the killing of innocent people," the statement said.
The statement also said that the United States continued to support its ally, Turkey, in the fight against terrorism.
Two bombs exploded minutes apart in one of Istanbul's busiest districts on Sunday night, killing 17 and injuring 115 others.
