inside a car outside a police station in the central Turkish province
of Kayseri on Friday, May 25 killing himself and a police officer
and wounding some 20 others, Reuters reported citing Turkish media.
Kurdish separatists, Islamist militants, including al Qaeda, as well
as groups on the far left and right have all carried out bomb attacks
in Turkey, but there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

the police station moments before the blast took place. At least
19 people were wounded in the attack, six of them seriously, other
media reported.

immediately confirm any of the details surrounding the attack which
took place in the town of Pinarbasi east of Kayseri city. Kayseri
