Latest Turkey resort blast kills 3, others injured POSTED: 12:46 p.m. EDT, August 28, 2006 Adjust font size: (CNN) -- At least three people were killed and 18 others injured in an explosion at the Turkish resort town of Antalya, police said Monday, less than 24 hours after a series of bomb attacks wounded dozens in other parts of the country. The Antalya governor's office told CNN Turk the cause of the latest explosion -- near a building housing restaurants -- was still under investigation. Late Sunday, bombings along Turkey's Mediterranean coast and in the commercial center of Istanbul left 27 people wounded, including 10 British tourists, officials said. Twenty-one people were wounded in three explosions in the popular coastal resort town of Marmaris in southwest Turkey. Meanwhile, six people were wounded in Istanbul , three of them seriously, the network reported, citing local authorities and witnesses. The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, a group linked to Kurdish guerrilla group, the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, claimed responsibility for Sunday's attacks. On its Web site the group warned: "Turkey is not a safe country. Tourists should not come to Turkey," according to The Associated Press. It was not immediately possible to verify the statement's authenticity. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the Antalya explosion. Kurdish militants have often threatened to target the tourism industry in their fight for autonomy in the Turkish southeast. Police sources told CNN Turk the earlier blasts were the result of bombs. "With the efforts of our security forces we will capture those behind the blasts as soon as possible and bring them to account," Reuters reported Marmaris Governor Temel Kocaklar as saying. In London, the Foreign Office said 10 British citizens were hurt in the blasts, and four of them were in serious condition. Doctors at Caria Hospital in Marmaris treated four Britons and one Turk after a bomb went off on a local minibus, said operations manager Sozanne Poraz. None of those treated at her hospital had life-threatening injuries. Most suffered cuts and burns on their legs and had difficulty hearing, Poraz said. Two had to have shrapnel removed from their legs. Most of those treated at her hospital were in shock and unable to provide much of a description of the blast, Poraz added. One woman "said she was sitting in the back of the bus, heard a large bang and saw an explosion in front of her, but that's all she's been able to tell us," Poraz said. Julie Midgmey, a spokeswoman for the Ahuhetman Hospital, said four Turks and six Britons were treated there. Midgmey said "a couple" of people had to have shrapnel removed from their legs, but other wounds were spread across their bodies. Hospital sources said nine of those who were admitted to hospitals in Marmaris were discharged -- both Britons and Turks.
