A bomb detonated Tuesday on a highway in an Istanbul suburb, wounding at least five people, including a State Security Court prosecutor and two policemen, private NTV television said. The remote-controlled bomb was set off just as a bus carrying several prosecutors to a court house passed by, police said, according to AP. The blast smashed the windows of two police cars escorting the bus and two other vehicles. The injured were hospitalized mostly with glass cuts from the smashed car windows, NTV said. The prosecutors were attached to the State Security Courts which have been involved in a crackdown on outlawed radical leftist, Kurdish and Islamic groups.
