ANKARA (Reuters) - Nearly one-in-ten Turks do not regard Islamic State as a terrorist organisation, and more than 5 percent agree with their actions, according to a new survey published on Tuesday.

The data was released on the same day as a suspected Syrian suicide bomb attack in the heart of Istanbul's tourist district which killed at least 10 people and raised fresh fears of Islamist violence in the NATO member country.
