Gasoline seems like the explosive of the day.

ISTANBUL, Turkey - A group of men stopped a passenger bus and tossed gasoline bombs at it, sending the vehicle careening into pedestrians and killing three in Turkey's largest city on Sunday as pro-Kurdish riots continued to spread.

"Three Killed in Istanbul Bus Attack"
By BENJAMIN HARVEY, Associated Press Writer Sun Apr 2, 6:47 PM ET

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ISTANBUL, Turkey - A group of men stopped a passenger bus and tossed gasoline bombs at it, sending the vehicle careening into pedestrians and killing three in Turkey's largest city on Sunday as pro-Kurdish riots continued to spread.

ADVERTISEMENT

In the country's heavily Kurdish southeast, a pro-Kurdish demonstrator was killed, and local officials blamed police for his death.

Clashes between Kurdish demonstrators and security forces have spread from the southeast to Istanbul, which has a large Kurdish population.

In the attack in Istanbul's Bagcilar district, the driver reversed his flaming vehicle onto a sidewalk after the bombing, running down a group of people nearby, police said. At least two of those killed were elderly women, and police said they suspected Kurdish militants were behind the attack.

Television images showed the bus propped up on the sidewalk and engulfed in flames, which shot out of every broken window.

Private NTV television said men had gathered around after the attack and shouted slogans for an outlawed Kurdish separatist group that is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union."
