Istanbul Bomb Victim Laid To Rest

A police presence has marked the Friday funeral of a man killed in Wednesday night's bomb attack on the offices of a political magazine in Istanbul.



Forty-five-year-old Unsal Zor was laid to rest following noon prayers in Istanbul's Okmeydani district.



Zor, a writer, lost his life after a bomb left at the door of the monthly Adimlar Magazine's office exploded.



Three other people were injured in the blast.



The writer's close relatives and magazine colleagues attended today's funeral service.



Turkish media have reported that the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, has claimed responsibility for the attack.



The DHKP-C is a 1978-founded Marxist-Leninist party, considered to be a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
