More Istanbul Bombings

In the name of Allah
Jesus, it appears I got out just in time!
The British consulate in Istanbul is in such a beautiful area, a lovely urban neighborhood with small winding streets full of restaurants and bars and shaded from the sun by arching stained glass covers criss-crossed with grape vines. I ate dinner there my last night in Istanbul with Haluk and Atakan, two wonderful friends who showed me a great part of Istanbul I hadn't experienced before.
Now it's all demolished. What do these terrorists think they're going to accomplish with this?
I hope the Turkish authorities have doubled the security presence at the Orthodox Patriarchate in the Fener because I have a sneaking feeling that will be the next target. God I hope I'm wrong.
