Istanbul bomb suspect captured in same hoodie as London bomber in dramatic raid

Police bodycam footage showed anti-terrorism officers pinning down the female suspect, wearing a purple hoodie inscribed with the words ‘New York’, as they raided her home last night

Police were captured arresting the woman believed to have planted the bomb that exploded on a crowded street and killed six in Istanbul yesterday.

Footage shared by several Turkish newspapers showed anti-terrorism officers pointing a gun at the suspect – named as Syrian national Ahlam Albashir – and pinning her to the floor as they raided her home last night.

Police then ransacked her cupboards, going on to find a gun, wads of cash and some gold.

The female was wearing a distinctive purple hoodie inscribed with the words ‘New York’, similar to that of the dark sweatshirt worn by Ramzi Mohammed when he tried to detonate a bomb on the London Underground’s Northern Line on July 21, 2005.
