Elif Sultan Kalsen

Security forces have shot an assailant during an attack on the police headquarters in Istanbul in which two policemen were injured, Do?an News Agency reported on April 1.

The assailant opened fire on police stationed at the entrance of the building in Istanbul's Fatih district with a long-barreled weapon.

The family of Elif Sultan Kalsen, who has been announced as a terror attack suspect and a suicide bomber on several occasions, has cried foul, saying they feared for their daughter's safety after "groundless claims."

An attacker who opened fire on a police post in Taksim Square, one of Istanbul's most popular spots, on Jan. 30 was identified by the police as Elif Sultan Kalsen, a member of the illegal far-left group, the Revolutionary People's Liberation/Party Front (DHKP/C).

Six people, including three foreigners, have been detained in relation to the Jan. 6 suicide bomb attack at an Istanbul police station in the touristic area of Sultanahmet.

The suspects were taken to the city's Ça?layan courthouse and were set to be interrogated by public prosecutor Okan Özsoy at anti-terror branch office.

A female suicide bomber who detonated herself at an Istanbul police station in the touristic area of Sultanahmet has been identified as a Russian citizen named Diana Ramazova.

A policeman, Kenan Kuma?, was killed in the suicide attack by a woman at the Tourism Police Station on Jan. 6.

Turkish police intensified security measures to ward off more attacks on Jan. 7, one day after a female suicide bomber detonated herself at an Istanbul police station in the touristic area of Sultanahmet.
