6:02 am
of that chaos following the attack. among the injured are six germans. one norwegian and at least one norwegian is also among the ten dead. it's not clear at this point if there are any americans among them. there are always images that happened in the tourist district of istanbul as the bombing just happened. it was about 10:00 thinning local time there. so, folks were certainly out and about. turkey's deputy prime minister said that most of the dead were tourists in their 20s, but that there were also turks among the victims, as well. streets in the area were immediately cordoned off out of fear that this might have been the first of a coordinated attack as we saw in paris last year which ended not being the case. but now armed officers and riot police in the area and several countries including germany and denmark warning citizens to stay away from large crowds and demonstrations in turkey. u.s. ambassador to turkey writes "closely following reports of an
