ISTANBUL, Turkey — An explosion in the popular Turkish Mediterranean resort town of Antalya killed four people and injured about 25 others Sunday, a local official said.

A Norwegian and a Ukrainian tourist were among the dead, private NTV television said, but local governor Fikret Dayioglu would not verify that report.

The blast occurred at a restaurant near a waterfall in the tourist area of Manavgat, Dayioglu said.

"IRA? Basque separatists? Greater Albanians? Shining Path?"

It's the Amish Republican Army, I'm sure of it.

I think the dead "Russians" are probably the Ukrainian and the Norwegian."

This has to be the slowest breaking news in history.

Four dead as blast hits tourist spot in southern Turkey


ANKARA (AFP) - Two Turks and two foreigners have been killed, and around 25 others injured, in an explosion at a waterfall in southern Turkey popular with tourists.

A Norwegian man, a Ukrainian man and two Turks were those killed by the blast at Manavgat, a seaside resort, CNN Turk television said Sunday.

An earlier toll of three dead was given by local authorities to the Anatolia news agency.

"The security forces are continuing their work at the site," Fikret Dayioglu, Manavgat's sub-prefect, was quoted as saying, suggesting that a gas cylinder might have exploded.

The falls at Manavgat draw many of the tourists who flock to Turkey's southern seaside resorts each summer.

This has to be the slowest breaking news in history.

I'm reminded of the old Soviet Union. A uniformed officer standing in front of a large pile of rubble, telling everyone who passes that "No building collapsed here"...

Gas canister?

Is that a jerry can, a compressed gas cylinder, a propane tank (Real men used charcoal!) or nerve gas???
