TURKISH POLICE DETAIN 26 PEOPLE AFTER CAR BOMBING KILLS TWO, INJURES 17

Turkish police detained 26 people over a car bomb attack in the south-eastern town of Viransehir, interior minister Suleyman Soylu said on Saturday. A vehicle loaded with explosives was remotely detonated on Friday in the garden of a housing complex for judges and prosecutors, killing an 11-year-old boy and a security guard. Seventeen people were injured. “The vehicle had been detonated just as a security guard who saw it being parked was about to intervene with a gun, killing him,” Soylu said, adding that the blast caused damage to 14 buildings nearby. Eleven people were still being treated in hospital, Soylu said.
