| (AKI) - A bomb exploded near a police station in the Turkish capital, Istanbul, on Monday. The Dogan News Agency said that the bomb was detonated in the city's Sisli district but there were no casualties. The explosion provoked widespread panic in the area but authorities said no one was injured. Turkish authorities were on high alert across the country as they feared revenge attacks by members of the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in retribution for the killing of 35 suspected militants by armed forces on Friday. |
