Four killed in southern Turk boom
2006-06-26
Follow-up from yesterday's news.
ANKARA - Two Turks and two foreigners were killed, and around 25 others injured, in an explosion at a waterfall in southern Turkey popular with tourists, CNN Turk television said.

A Norwegian man, a Ukrainian man and two Turks were those killed by the blast at Manavgat, a seaside resort, the channel said. An earlier toll of three dead was given by local authorities to the Anatolia news agency. “The security forces are continuing their work at the site,” Fikret Dayioglu, Manavgat’s sub-prefect, was quoted as saying, suggesting that a gas cylinder might have exploded.

The falls at Manavgat draw many of the tourists who flock to TurkeyÂ’s southern seaside resorts each summer.
