Suspect held after spate of bombs kill three in Turkey
2006-08-29
A suspected member of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was detained yesterday following five bomb attacks in 24 hours in Turkey that killed three people and injured scores of people, state news agency Anatolian reported. The suspect was planning an attack in the major port city of Izmir, the agency said. Other people were detained for helping the suspect, and police also seized plastic explosives in the operation, it said.

Yesterday's blast in the coastal city of Antalya, which killed three people and wounded dozens, came less than 24 hours after three bombs in Marmaris injured 21 people and a device in Istanbul wounded six people. The attacks may well be a concerted campaign by Kurdish militants to damage the country's multimillion euro tourist industry. The first bomb blew up just before midnight on Sunday in a crowded minibus in Marmaris.
