Toll from Attack in Turkey Attack Rises after Policeman Dies
The toll from a bombing last weekend on a police station in Turkey's southern city of Gazinantep blamed on a militant linked to Islamic State (IS) has risen to three, reports said Friday.
The toll rose after policeman Mehmet Oter, 45, died in hospital of his wounds sustained in the car bomb attack Sunday in Gaziantep, a major hub for Syrian refugees close to the border, the Dogan news agency reported.
The attack, which has not been claimed, was blamed by the Turkish interior ministry on a Turkish militant linked to IS jihadists who have already carried out several deadly attacks in Turkey over the last year.
