1 Palestinian killed and 2 wounded in a shooting on a street in Istanbul

ISTANBUL (AP) — Authorities in Turkey say one Palestinian was shot to death and two were wounded as they sat in a car on an Istanbul street. Police are conducting a large-scale investigation and authorities say the killer dropped a handgun fitted with a silencer after the shooting late Sunday. The identities of the victims were not disclosed beyond their initials. But the apparently professional nature of the attack led to widespread speculation in the Turkish media over whether Israel may have been involved. It was also suggested that the shooting may be related to business debts.
