The attack was carried out by a male suicide bomber who was killed in the blast, Istanbul Police Chief Hüseyin Çapkın said in a statement broadcasted by NTV television. "We think the attacker attempted to enter a police bus and detonate the bomb inside, but the explosives went off earlier," Çapkın added. Istanbul Gov. Hüseyin Avnı Mutlu said 12 of the injured were civilians and 10 were police officers. Two seriously injured police officers were taken into emergency care at Şişli Etfal Hospital. Taksim Square was closed down entirely to pedestrian and vehicle traffic as a precaution against a possible second attack.  News from www.hurriyetdailynews.com
