Şehzade caption

...its glasses were shattered....

– Does glasses here mean windows? Sca (talk) 13:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes. All "glasses" here mean windows. It's because the word for "window" literally means "glass" in Turkish... So I guess I immersed myself a tad too much in Turkish-language resources and verbatim translation there, sorry about that. --GGT (talk) 14:01, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Aha. Well, I didn't guess they were serving drinks at the mosque.

Update

It's a suicide-bomb done in a car by Eylem Yaşa, TAK member. [1]

One injured civil man died: 12 dead in total. [2]

The exact place of the attack is in front of the Celal Aga Konagi Hotel (Şehzadebaşı Caddesi). [3]

It's 51 not 31 injured people. [4]
