Officials have stepped up the security presence at Gallipoli ahead of the annual Anzac Day commemorations in April, amid terrorism fears in the area. Terrorism concerns were raised after a female bomber killed herself and an officer on Tuesday after walking a police station in Istanbul's Sultanahmet district, disguising herself as a distressed tourist who had lost her wallet. The woman was shot after she pulled the pin on one of her grenades. Nearly 4000 Turkish police and paramilitary troops have been drafted in to protect the thousands of Australian tourists expected to travel to the historical site in Turkey.
