ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A freight train derailed in eastern Turkey after suspected Kurdish rebels detonated a remote-controlled bomb on the tracks, officials said.

There were no casualties in yesterday's train blast, the third in less than a week.

The attack occurred just six days after two similar remote-control attacks derailed two trains in south-east Turkey, killing six security guards. Officials said the attackers used C-4 plastic explosives in those attacks.

Yesterday's attack occurred near the small town of Altunkent, in Erzincan province. The train was travelling to nearby Erzurum province.

Erzurum Governor Celalettin Guvenc said the train's seven cars came off the rails and overturned."
