Deadly Bombings in Turkey Show Terror Is Coming Home

Hilal Kizilkaya, a 20-year-old hotel clerk, was in an Istanbul subway station on her way to work when she heard the blast at 8:35 a.m. Tuesday morning.

“We thought it was an earthquake,” she remembers. Security officers barred the exits of the station. The explosion had been a car bomb on the street above, detonated at rush hour. The bomb killed 11 people, including seven police on board a passing bus, and wounded 36 other people.
