Several injured in Istanbul blast
18/11/2005 - 18:22:16A bomb placed in a rubbish bin exploded near a fairground in Istanbul today, injuring five people, police said.
The bomb was placed outside the Tatilya fairground, in Beylikduzu, a suburb on the European side of the city, a police official said.
An investigation was under way, but police suspect that autonomy-seeking Kurdish rebels, who have carried out similar attacks in the city, may be behind the bombing, he said.
Militant leftist and Islamic groups are also active in the city.
