DIYARBAKIR (Reuters) - Five people including three police were wounded in southeastern Turkey, a pro-government mayor said on Monday, when suspected Kurdish militants attacked his car as he returned from a presidential campaign rally for prime minister Tayyip Erdogan.
Mayor Menderes Atilla said a car bomb detonated as his car drove through Ceylanpinar town in Sanliurfa province late on Sunday, injuring the policemen. Attackers then opened fire, causing minor injuries to his driver and a bodyguard.
