2 Killed in Apparent Suicide Bombing
A bomb set off by a suspected suicide attacker killed two people and injured 19 in Turkey’s Kurdish-dominated southeast, local officials said.
Police Chief Tacettin Kurt said a police officer, a civilian and an unidentified man were killed, and seven of the injured were in serious condition.
Mustafa Yavuz, the deputy governor of Van, where the attack took place, said the body of the unidentified man was torn apart, leading police to suspect he was a suicide bomber.
“It is 99% likely to be a suicide attack,” Yavuz said.
