27 wounded in explosion near ruling party HQ in east Turkey
Ankara - Arab Today
A car-bombing at a police checkpoint on Monday wounded 27 people near the ruling party headquarters and the governor's office in the eastern Turkish province of Van, ABC News quoted a police official as saying.
The explosion occurred Monday around 10:50 a.m. local time on the first day of Eidul Adha.
An explosives-laden vehicle was detonated about 200 meters (650 feet) from the governor's office in a commercial district where the AKP municipal offices are located.
Turkey has suffered a string of attacks in recent months from both Kurdish militants linked with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party or PKK as well as from the Islamic State group, resulting in dozens of casualties.
