Things just seem to get worse.

Last week they found a bomb underneath the Halic bridge but thankfully were able to disarm it before anyone got hurt

OK latest is no one was killed. 5 policemen got injured and one got his arm blown off.

ISTANBUL, April 30 (Reuters) - Five police officers were injured on Saturday in an explosion as they investigated a suspicious package at a tourist resort in western Turkey, state-run Anatolian news agency reported.

The blast occurred in the Aegean resort town of Kusadasi next to a statue of modern Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the agency said.

It had earlier said one officer had been killed, but it subsequently quoted the local governor as saying nobody had died and that one policeman had lost an arm in the blast. The five officers were taken to hospital.

Police were trying to set up a security cordon after a report of a suspicious package in front of the statue when the explosion happened.

Local police set up control points at the road exits from Kusadasi following the incident.
