An explosion at the office of a magazine linked to an Islamic group has caused the death of one journalist and has left three others injured.

The reasons for the attack are not yet, though investigators say a "bomb" is likely to have caused the blast. Police have sealed off the region.

On Wednesday evening, the bomb hit the headquarters of Adimlar (translated as "Steps") weekly.

The injured were immediately taken to hospital, and doctors say there is currently no risk to their lives.

Radical Great Eastern Islamic Raiders' Front (iBDA-C) is the name of the group which struggles to reestablish a Caliphate through unification with Sunni Muslim states in the Middle East.
