Circumstances regarding the explosion of Akkuş's explosives remains unclear. The police has three competing theories: While moving towards the target suicide bomber Akkuş panicked when a squad car coincidentally stopped in front of him, leading him to detonate his explosive. Type A-4 explosives are sensitive to body temperature so it is possible that the explosives self-detonated while Akkuş and a collaborator only identified by her code name "Ayşe" panicked after the encounter with the squad car. Collaborator "Ayşe" detonated Akkuş's explosives remotely when Akkuş panicked. Collaborator "Ayşe" is known to have visited a hospital briefly after the bombing and is currently at large.http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/ucuncusayfa/6627772.asp?gid=205 Polis, Ayşe'nin peşinde!
