Tuesday , 29 August 2006

Three bomb blasts took place in Marmaris in the first minutes of August 28th. Official statements indicate that two bombs exploded in trash barrels and one in the minibus, which was carrying locals and tourists. As a result of the blasts, 21 civilians were slightly injured, including 10 Britons and 11 Turkish. Ostensibly, security officials continue their compact investigation to find the individuals or the organization behind the attack. Although there are no official statements related to the perpetrators yet, the PKK terrorist organization is the centre of attention in terms of suspects at the moment."
