10 people were killed by the suicide bomber attack in Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday
A suicide bomber, believed to have travelled from Syria to the Turkish city, killed nine German tourists and one Peruvian on Tuesday.
Istanbul's historic Sultanahmet Square, a major tourist draw, was targeted at 10.30am local time. Fifteen people were also hurt in the attack.
The explosion, which could be heard from several neighbourhoods, was at a park that is home to a landmark obelisk, some 25 meters (yards) from the historic Blue Mosque.
No one is yet to claim responsibility for the attack, although Turkish officials have told reporters that ISIS militants are behind the attack.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said he offered his condolences to Merkel and vowed Turkey's fight against Islamic State - both at home and abroad in coalition with the US - would continue.
