"Turkey denounces 'terrorist' blasts in London
ANKARA - Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul denounced as "terrorist" acts a series of blasts that hit London on Thursday and pledged his country's cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
"According to the information, we received, (the London attacks) are terrorist incidents," Gul told reporters in the central Turkish province of Kayseri, the Anatolia news agency reported.
Turkey, he said, "denounces all kinds of terrorism and... is always ready to cooperate against all forms of terrorism."
At least two people were killed and scores were injured in at least six explosions that hit London buses and underground train stations.
On his return to capital Ankara, Gul told reporters that there were no Turkish citizens among the victims of the attacks.
Turkey is no stranger to terror attacks: 63 were killed and hundreds hurt in Istanbul in November 2003, when a Turkish cell of Al-Qaeda carried out suicide bombings just five days apart at two synagogues, the British consulate and the local headquarters of Britain's HSBC bank.
