Killed at 22 when a suicide bomber struck a police station in Istanbul ... a family photo of Amanda Rigg, a student from the Central Coast.

THE family of an Australian terrorist attack victim has been insulted by the Foreign Affairs Minister, Alexander Downer, who refused them financial support because she did not die in a "mass casualty incident".

Amanda Rigg, a 22-year-old student from the Central Coast, died in a suicide bombing while holidaying in Istanbul on September 10, 2001.

The bomber had attacked a police station, killing himself and at least three others.
