Explosives Found at Istanbul Airport
2004-06-25
W better fly into Incirlik, hold the talks there as well
Turkish authorities found a van full of explosives in a parking lot at Istanbul’s main airport, news reports said Friday. Reuters quoted news channel CNN-Turk as saying a remote-controlled explosive device in the same parking lot had been destroyed by a police bomb squad. Confusingly, Turkish authorities denied that any bomb had been found. "Security received a warning and closed the car park for 1Âœ hours," said an official. "At this time, they have been unable to find any explosive device." Turkey’s largest city will host a NATO summit next week, which President Bush and leaders from 40 other countries will attend.

#4  Lucky - bet, hell! I'll guarantee there are.

And they can't depend on a "warning" to find all of them.
