Simultaneous explosions at two hotels in Istanbul have killed two people and injured 11. Turkish police are treating the blasts as terrorist attacks. Two more bombs exploded at a gas storage complex in an outlying area of the city, causing damage but no casualties. All explosions were preceded by telephone tip-offs. A group claiming links to al Qaeda has taken responsibility for the attacks.
