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.
