Turkey: 2 killed in explosion near border with Syria
An explosion inside a vehicle near Turkey’s border
with Syria on Friday has left two people dead and two others injured, Turkey’s
state-run news agency said.
The blast occurred inside a car some 750 meters
(yards) from a local government office in the border town of Reyhanli, in Hatay
province, Anadolu Agency said.
It quoted Hatay’s Gov. Rahmi Dogan as saying two
people inside the car were killed.
It was not immediately clear what caused the
explosion. There was no immediate information on the condition of the two
injured.
The report said several ambulances and police
vehicles have been sent to the scene.
In 2013, two car bomb attacks in Reyhanli killed 52
people, including Syrian refugees. Turkey blamed Syria’s intelligence agency
for the attack.
