Kurdish rebel is held after Turkey blasts
A KURDISH rebel suspected of plotting a new bomb attack in Turkey has been arrested by police.
The news comes as a hard-line Kurdish militant group claimed responsibility today for a bomb attack that killed three people in the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya.
The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons said on its website it had carried out yesterday's bombing. The group had earlier said it carried out a bus bombing that injured ten Britons and 11 Turks in the Mediterranean resort town of Marmaris on Sunday.
The detention came as security forces in one of the country's most popular tourist resorts searched today for two people suspected in the Antalya explosions.
Attacks against the critical tourism industry are very sensitive in Turkey and authorities would not immediately confirm that the attack in the Mediterranean resort of Antalya was the result of a bomb attack.
But reports said police had drawn up sketches of two suspects from descriptions of men seen fleeing the scene.
