"Me and my friend, we were sitting in the cafe behind the Hagia Sophia (museum). It was a very strange voice (noise), and it's terrible thing. I think because it has influence on our security, for tourists, for the local people."

"When I got information that it was a bomb, now I feel myself not secure."
A female suicide bomber blew herself up at a police station in Istanbul on Tuesday, killing one policeman and wounding another, according to Turkish authorities.
Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin said the woman entered the police station and reported a missing wallet before detonating a bomb.
The attack occurred in the Sultan Ahmet district, a popular tourist destination.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the bomber was carrying two other bombs, which were safely defused.
It is the second attack on police in a week in Istanbul.
On Thursday, police subdued a man after he threw grenades and fired a weapon at officers near the prime minister's offices.
The leftist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, said it carried out the Thursday attack.
DHKP-C, which seeks a socialist state, is considered as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the European Union.
A tourist from Georgia who heard the attack while she was in a cafe said she did not feel secure after the bombing.
Suicide attacks have been rare in Turkey since the government opened peace talks in 2012 with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, to end a thirty-year insurgency.
The DHKP-C has carried out sporadic attacks, including a suicide bombing on the US embassy in 2013 which killed a security guard.
