Turkey blast victims rise to 3
ISTANBUL: The number killed in a bombing last weekend on a police station in Turkey's southern city of Gaziantep blamed on a militant linked to the Islamic State (IS) has risen to three, reports said yesterday. The figure rose after policeman Mehmet Oter, 45, died in hospital of his wounds sustained in the car bomb attack on Sunday in Gaziantep, a major hub for Syrian refugees close to the border, the Dogan news agency reported. The attack, which no group has yet admitted, was blamed by the Turkish interior ministry on a Turkish militant linked to IS jihadists who have already carried out several deadly attacks in Turkey over the last year.
