Car bomb in southeast Turkey wounds 8 police officers. Eight Turkish police officers were wounded on Friday when a bomb exploded in a roadside vehicle as their minibus passed on a highway in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir, security sources said.<\/p>\n

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu<\/a> said two people had been detained and were believed to be the perpetrators of the blast.<\/p>\n

“There was an explosion in a parked vehicle at 05:10am (0210 GMT) as a police vehicle was going to work in Diyarbakir,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Diyarbakir governor’s office said the bomb had not critically hurt anyone, but nine people who had been in the armoured minibus had been taken to the hospital for checkups.<\/p>\n

The blast occurred near a livestock market some 10 km (6 miles) south of the centre of Diyarbakir, the largest city in the region, the sources said.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Kurdish, leftist and Daesh have all carried out bomb attacks in Turkey in the past.<\/p>\n

A bomb killed six people and wounded dozens in Turkey’s largest city, Istanbul, last month. Dozens of people, including a Syrian woman, were detained as suspects.<\/p>\n

Turkey blamed Kurdish militants for that blast, but no group claimed responsibility then, either. The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) denied involvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
