Ten Britons have been injured after three explosions hit a holiday resort in Turkey, the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has said. The blasts happened at the coastal resort of Marmaris.

All ten are in hospital with four seriously injured, the FCO said. The explosions are said to have occurred in the past few hours.

The Foreign Office had no further details on the cause of explosions or the exact location.

A spokeswoman added consular staff were on the ground in the area.

She said it was likely that the 10 injured were holidaymakers but that British nationals could be living in the area.

This isn't going to help the Turkish tourist situation... (as I am sure the terrorists realise).

Prayers for all involved.

They say right on the instructions to thoroughly thaw & pat dry the turkey before putting itinto the fryer.

Ten of them? They must have had the keg way too close to the fryer! Geez.

Considering they ran the F1 Grand Prix there today, about 14 hours ago....I'm sure the FIA will take this into consideration when they make out the 2007 race schedule....
