DIYARBAKIR,
Kurdistan-Turkey, June 16, 2006 (AFP) , - A
bomb exploded in the mainly Kurdish city of Van in
eastern Turkey overnight, causing material damage
but no casualties, local security sources said
Friday.
The bomb, left under a car parked near a residential
building, went off around 1:00 am (2200 GMT) in the
centre of the city, causing the vehicle to burst
into flames, the sources said.
The blast also damaged several cars parked neraby.
It was not immediately clear who had planted the
bomb.
Southeastern and eastern Turkey has been the theater
of a bloody Kurdish rebellion since 1984, when the
outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), blacklisted
as a "terrorist" group by Ankara, the European Union
and the United States, began fighting for Kurdish
self-rule in the region.
The conflict has claimed more than 37,000 lives.
