ISTANBUL, Turkey — Simultaneous explosions hit two small Istanbul (search) hotels in an apparent terrorist attack, killing at least one person and injuring eight others early Tuesday, police said.

Security concerns in Turkey have been heightened since last November, when four homicide truck bombings blamed on Al Qaeda (search) killed more than 60 people in Istanbul.

I am sure that if this was an act of kerrorism the authorities are rounding up the usual suspects. Swedes, Catholic Nuns, and Eskimos.

Update:

ISTANBUL, Turkey — Explosions rocked two small tourist hotels in Istanbul (search) early Tuesday in an apparent terrorist attack, killing at least one person and injuring seven others, police said.

Two explosions hit the inexpensive hotels, which often host tourists from former Soviet republics (search), at around 2 a.m., police said.

One of the targeted hotels, Pars, said it received an anonymous call only 10 minutes before the explosion saying there was a bomb in a room.

"It appears to be a terrorist attack," Police Chief Celalettin Cerrah told the Anatolia news agency.

Security concerns in Turkey (search) have been heightened since last November, when four suicide truck bombings blamed on Al Qaeda (search) killed more than 60 people in Istanbul.

From the report there was only 1 death, 8 injuries. Terrible, but could've been much worse.

Looks like some people should've let us set up some pre-war air bases, aye?

Swedes, Catholic Nuns, and Eskimos.

You do realize, of course, that this is a very suspicious bunch. While the scantily-dressed female Swedes distract you, the Catholic Nuns and Eskimos start planting the bombs they have hidden under their bulky clothing. The TSA is very on top of these things.

No, you didn't miss anything, there are no pictures of the scantily-dressed female Swedes.

I hate to be a mercenary about it, but explosions in Istanbul are explosions that didn't happen in LA or Atlanta.
