Would-be bomber killed in Turkey

[DEMonstate]

A man was killed and a second badly injured when a bomb they were trying to plant at a police checkpoint blew up, Turkish media said on Sunday.



The blast occurred late on Saturday near the airport of Van in southeastern Turkey, which has a mainly ethnic Kurdish population.

The motive for the attack was not immediately clear but a local official said he suspected the separatist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), though nobody had claimed responsibility.

A local newscast quoted Van Governor Hikmet Tan as saying the attackers may have been targeting him because he had been due to pass by the area a few hours later on his way to meet Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan in a nearby town.
