The Istanbul suicide bombing on Tuesday, which left 10 foreign nationals dead, is seen as the deadliest attack on Germans since 2002.

On Wednesday, the prime minister of Turkey vowed to continue its fight against terrorism in light of the deadly bombing on the Sultanahmet Square. Eight out of the ten foreign nationals who died in the attack were German citizens. Fifteen other individuals were wounded in the incident, according to CNN.

"We will continue our fight against terrorism with the same resolve, and will never take a step back," Turkey's Anadolu news agency quotes Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Wednesday. "We will never compromise, not one single inch."

The suspect blew up the bomb in the middle of a German tour group which was mostly made up of retirees, according to German officials. Interior Minister Efkan Ala said the suspect was arrested late Tuesday, but did not reveal more information.

In the wake of the deadly bombing in Istanbul which rocked the country's multi-billion-dollar tourism industry, Turkish authorities arrested 68 terror suspects in a raid that spanned seven provinces. Officials blamed the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for the deadly bombing.

At present, details about the suicide bomber are still scant. What is known is that he was born in 1988 and came to Turkey via Syria under the guise of a refugee. Turkish media identified the suspect as nabil Fadli who was born in Saudi Arabia, ABC News reports.

The last time that such a deadly attack on German citizens happened was in 2002. At that time, a suicide bomber blew up a synagogue in Tunisia, leaving 14 German tourists, three Tunisians, and two French citizens dead.

As of now, no group has claimed responsibility for the deadly blast in Istanbul on Tuesday. However, Davutoglu, who blames ISIS for the incident, said the act was an attack not just against Turkey, but against the whole world as well.
