The suicide bomber was a member of the group, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said, pledging to battle IS until it no longer “remains a threat” to Turkey or the world.
The alleged attacker is Nabil Fadli, born in Saudi Arabia in 1988, Turkish officials said. He recently entered Turkey through Syria, officials said. Fadli was not on a watch list, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said.
Eight German, one Peruvian and one South Korean citizens were killed in the terrorist attack committed in the historic Sultan Ahmet square of Istanbul Jan.12.
