SULAIMANI (ESTA) — A prison guard was killed in an explosion that hit a bus in Turkey’s northwestern province of Bursa on Wednesday, Governor Yakup Canbolat said.
Canbolat said the bomb was detonated by remote control when the bus carrying prison guard personnel went past it, according to Reuters.
He added that one person was seriously injured in the explosion, while two or three others were injured but have been discharged from hospital.
“All our security units are working on the issue from all sides. Hopefully, we’ll try to solve the issue and capture the perpetrators as soon as possible,” Reuters quoted Canbolat as saying.
He noted that the Justice and Interior Ministers would travel to Bursa.
Although attacks have declined sharply in recent years, similar attacks have been carried out in the past by Kurdish, leftist and Islamist militants.
