Bomb attack on police bus in southern Turkey injures 5
2019-09-26
[DAWN] A kaboom hit a bus carrying police in the southern Ottoman Turkish province of Adana on Wednesday morning and some people were maimed, security sources said.

CNN Turk broadcast video of a badly damaged bus surrounded by debris and other damaged vehicles under a pedestrian overpass in the area of Yuregir in Adana.

The sources said ambulances took the maimed to hospitals in the area. Armed police sealed off the area and were examining the scene. It was not clear who might be behind the attack.

Mahmut Demirtas, the provincial governor of Adana, said a police official and four bystanders were slightly injured by a bomb that targeted a bus carrying police personnel.

"As of now, two chief prosecutors of the terror bureau have been assigned and they too are at the scene of the crime at the moment," Demirtas said.
