From correspondents in Istanbul
June 25, 2004
TURKISH police today detained three people following a bus explosion that claimed four lives and left a number of people injured in Istanbul, Anatolia news agency reported.
Turkish authorities said the blast was caused by a small bomb a young woman was carrying in her lap on the bus with the aim of taking it elsewhere in the city, adding that neither the bus nor its passengers were the target of the attack.
They added that an underground left-wing organisation was likely to be behind the explosion.
The death toll rose from the blast days ahead of a NATO summit rose from three after one of the injured died in hospital, an official at the hospital said.
The patient was a 40-year-old woman who was among the 15 people rushed to hospitals with injuries following the explosion in the district of Fatih on the European side of the city, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Massive security measures have been installed in Istanbul ahead of the June 28-29 NATO summit, which will be attended by US President George W Bush and leaders from 45 other countries.
The Istanbul blast came just hours after a small bomb exploded outside a hotel in Ankara where Bush is expected to stay on Saturday night during a visit to the Turkish capital.

Slashers name "Alana" sounds like a girl. All we need now is for dumb teenagers to copycat beheadings.
