   Police in Istanbul have arrested two people after shots were fired near
   the city's Dolmabache Palace. There are no reports of causalities in
   the attack near the popular tourist destination.

   Also on Wednesday, eight soldiers were killed in the southeastern
   province of Siirt. The bombing has been linked to the outlawed
