According to reports, at least three of the bombers were from the southeastern city of Bingol, considered a breeding ground of the Hezbollah radical Islamic group, which is unrelated to the Lebanese group of the same name.
Prema izvješćima medija, najmanje trojica bombaša samoubojica su iz grada na jugoistoku Turske, Bingola, koji se smatra uporistem radikalne islamske skupine Hezbollah, koja nije povezana s Libanskom skupinom istog imena.
