"Everyone was in a panic at that time (right after the incident). No one was aware of what was happening. Then when everyone thought that it was a suicide bombing, everyone has become anxious. This is a tourism district, it will affect all of us. Not only us, but all tradesmen around here will be affected."
Tradesmen in the Sultan Ahmet tourist district of Istanbul expressed their concern on Wednesday that business could be affected following a suicide bombing in the area.
A female suicide bomber blew herself up at a police station in the area 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 leftist Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, said it carried out the attack, calling it "an act of sacrifice."
Ahmet Balta has a carpet shop opposite the police station.
He was there when the attack occurred.
Balta told the Associated Press that traders in the area were concerned the incident could affect their businesses, with tourists scared away.
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.
