There's a story still coming about an explosion on a minibus at the Turkish resort of Kusadasi. Readers will probably be aware that this is a regular calling point for many cruise ships, frm many lines. There's no info yet about the status or nature of the minibus.

Update: the exposion is now reported to have killed 3 people and injured 10. No info on the victims.

Thanx Elad,

The situation is not good but it is in the Turkish Authorities interests and goal to route down the terrorists as soon as they can; the well-being of most or our brothers, sisters and couzins of Turkish Nationality depends on tourismm for a living and that is why "our relatives" are being added to the melting pot of evil retribution.

We have friends and their famlies in Kushadasi now, with more Scottish flights and relatives to arrive in nearby-resorts; they are all apprehensive and how.

Time to ALL stand 'shoulder-to-shoulder', Christian, Seek, Muslim, Agnostic, God-Fearer and all forms of Humanity - if we don't, head cases win and the battle lost.

God Bless All involved in Kushadasi and trust OUR GOD OF ALL FAITHS shall truimph over these dark days.

It turns out that the minibus that was destroyed was definitely a tourist minibus, used to shuttle people from the beach area to the town centre. It was in the town centre when the bomb went off.

This outrage seems to be the work of one or another of the Kurdish separatist movements.
