| A bomb placed on the Siirt-Ankara train on Sunday was defused by the careful work of bomb experts from the police department, Ankara Governor Kemal Önal stated yesterday. At a celebratory meeting held at the governor’s residence in the capital to mark the end of Ramazan Bayramý, Governor Önal said that the explosives placed on the Güney Ekpresi (South Express), running between Siirt and Ankara had been defused. “The explosives found on the train, which was undergoing maintenance, by employees of the State Railways as a result of careful scrutiny, were defused by experts from the police department. Of course, this is a very important development. Four people caught in relation to the explosives were sent to legal authorities yesterday for interrogation and were arrested as a result. I congratulate our police forces for their utmost care against explosives and in their counterterrorism struggle,” Governor Önal said. |
