Blast in Turkish Mediterranean resort injures dozens

An explosion inside a car left in the parking lot of the local chamber of trade in the Mediterranean resort of Antalya on Tuesday slightly injured about a dozen people, an official said.

Mayor Menderes Turel said the cause of the explosion at the Antalya Trade and Industry Chamber was not immediately known but added it may not have been the result of a terror attack.

About 10 or 12 people were hurt by flying glass but none of the injuries was serious, he told private NTV television. The blast damaged at least four cars in the parking area and shattered glass panels inside the building located some on the outskirts of Antalya.
