/PanARMENIAN.Net/ An explosion rocked a trade center in Bakýrkoy,
the European part of Istanbul, in the result of which 14 people
were wounded. One of them is in critical situation. He received
a severe wound on the head, Istanbul Chief Policeman Djellaledin
Djerakh informed.

According to preliminary version of what happened, a so-called,
noise grenade was exploded near Rodi trade center, which sells jeans
clothing and knitted wears.

Glasses of the trade center and of some nearby buildings smashed
because of the blast, NTV.com.tr repots.

Police surrounded the scene of explosion. Law enforcement bodies
also checked up a telephone tip, according to which another explosion
would rock the city center. However, it was false.

Still there were no claims of responsibility by radical organizations
that exist in Turkey. Police does not exclude that separatist Workers’
Party of Kurdistan (PKK), which recently rapidly activated terrorist
activities in Turkey, may be involved in the blast.

Earlier PKK and another hard-line organization known as "Kurdistan
Liberation Hawks" (TAK) have repeatedly committed terror acts in
Turkish cities and resort towns. On May 22 a suicide bomber committed a
terror act near a trade center in Ankara. In the result of the blast
8 people were killed and 100 wounded.

Separatists had used 4 kg of A-4 type plastic explosives.
