17 injured in Turkey blasts; Commies claim responsibility
Two explosions shook a Turkish Justice Ministry training centre in Ankara on Friday, injuring 17 police officers, two of them seriously. A probe was under way into the cause of the blasts, apparently caused by potassium-based explosive materials, Ankara Governor Yahya Gur told reporters. "Our whole team is continuing its investigations. At the moment there is no information into the reason for the blast, who did it and why," Gur said. A leftist organization claimed responsibility for planting a bomb that exploded Friday in the Turkish capital, wounding 17 police officers, the interior minister said. "Let's not contribute to their propaganda by giving their name," Aksu said. The outlawed Marxist group, Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C, claimed responsibility for a Istanbul highway bombing directed at a bus carrying prosecutors, were injured in that blast.
