Car bomb in Turkish town kills 3-year-old, wounds 15 people
ANKARA, Turkey — A car bomb attack targeted government lodgings in southeastern Turkey on Friday, killing a 3-year-old child and wounding 15 other people, an official said.
The bomb exploded near the homes of judges and prosecutors in the mainly-Kurdish town of Viransehir, in Sanliurfa province, which borders Syria.
Sanliurfa governor Gungor Azim Tuna told state-run Anadolu Agency that a young man parked the explosives-laden vehicle near the lodgings and later detonated it with a remote-controlled device. The attack killed the 3-year-old son of a court clerk, he said.
Around 15 people were hospitalized but none of them was in serious condition, Tuna said.
