<p>The court released three other suspects from custody pending trial, the Anadolu Agency reported.</p>
<p>It also ordered the deportation from Turkey of 29 people who were rounded up by police in connection with the attack.</p>
<p>The blast on November 13 targeted Istanbul’s bustling Istiklal Avenue — a popular thoroughfare lined with shops and restaurants — and left six people dead, including two children. More than 80 others were hurt.</p>
<p>The attack came as a shocking reminder of bombings that hit Turkish cities between 2015 and 2017, shattering the public’s sense of security.</p>
<p>Turkish authorities blamed last weekend’s explosion on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), as well as Syrian Kurdish groups affiliated with it.</p>
<p>The Kurdish militants groups have denied involvement.</p>
<p>Prosecutors questioned the main suspect in the attack, a Syrian woman who is accused of leaving a TNT-laden bomb in Istiklal Avenue, for some five hours.</p>
<p>The woman, identified as Ahlam Albashir, allegedly told her interrogators she entered Turkey illegally and stayed at a house in Istanbul for four months, pretending to be a couple with one of the other suspects, the Anadolu Agency reported.</p>
<p>According to the news agency, Albashir also allegedly admitted to leaving a bag containing the explosive device on a street bench but claimed she did not know what was inside it.</p>
<p>A trial date is expected to be set after prosecutors prepare their indictment, which could take months.</p>
<p>One suspect was apprehended by Turkish police late on Wednesday in the Syrian city of Azaz – which is currently under the control of the Turkey-backed Syrian opposition – and was being questioned by police.</p>
<p>There was no information on the 29 people who face deportation.</p>
<p>The PKK has fought an armed insurgency in Turkey since 1984. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people since then.</p>
