Istanbul terrorist attacks  

Definition

  • One of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Europe in recent years, the Istanbul terrorist attacks are characterized by two separate bombings: the first on November 15, 2003, and the second on November 20, leaving 57 people dead and around 700 people wounded. Because the event occurred in Istanbul, the largest cultural and economic city in Turkey, the event was named the Istanbul Terrorist Attacks or the Istanbul Bombings.
