Turks blame US policy for blasts: "Several thousand Turks gathered in Istanbul and other cities yesterday to condemn this week's suicide bombings, with many protesting against what they see as the root cause of the attacks - the United States... 'Curse this terrorism, it killed my friend,' said retired businessman Ismail Yildirim. 'The imperialist powers are behind this, they are turning the Middle East into a bloodbath. They want to drag Turkey into it, but they will fail.'"
