Three killed, 40 wounded in car bomb near Turkish police station
[TODAYONLINE] Three people were killed and 40 were maimed when a boom-mobile went kaboom!near a cop shoppe in ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's eastern province of Van near the Iranian border on Wednesday, state broadcaster TRT said, citing the local governor. Police and ambulances were seen rushing in, according to another broadcaster, the privately owned Dogan news agency. The station also serves as a police barracks, TRT said, citing a statement from the local governor. It was not immediately clear how many police and civilians were among the dead and maimed. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on live television there had been an attack on a cop shoppe in Van but did not elaborate. No one immediately grabbed credit for the attack. Kurdish holy warriors frequently target cop shoppes and other security force outposts with boom-mobiles. Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast has been scorched by violence since a 2-1/2-year ceasefire between the state and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party fell apart in July last year.
