Explosions precede Blair's visit to Turkey Associated Press ANKARA, Turkey — Four small bomb blasts caused minor damage in front of branches of a London-based bank just hours ahead of a visit to the Turkish capital by British Prime Minister Tony Blair. There were no injuries. Two percussion bombs, which are loud but cause little damage, went off in front of two HSBC branches in Istanbul, shattering the bank windows. A third bomb went off underneath a parked car of an HSBC bank staffer in Ankara, damaging the car and the bank slightly. A fourth blast also shattered windows of another HSBC branch in Ankara. ctv.ca Britain considering more troops for Iraq Associated Press LONDON — The British government is still considering sending more troops to Iraq, Britain's defense secretary said Sunday, as lawmakers warned that Prime Minister Tony Blair must rethink his strategy to secure his leadership position. Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon said no decision has been made on extra troops but the situation remains under constant review. But he ruled out a parliamentary vote on the issue if more troops are committed — a condition sought by opponents of the deployment. "The authority we have allows us to make those kinds of adjustments as and when they are necessary," Hoon told the British Broadcasting Corp. television program "Breakfast with Frost." ctv.ca Circuses might be bad, but Frankfort's clowns are the real threat You didn't know, until now, that one of the big dangers facing local school kids is circus animals.
