ANKARA (Reuters) - Four separate blasts on Turkey's popular coastal region and in Istanbul injured at least 22 people, state news agency Anatolian reported on Monday.

Anatolian said three blasts occurred near the southern coastal area of Marmaris and another one in Istanbul. Private NTV television channel earlier reported 21 people were injured. There were no immediate claims of responsibility and the authorities were not immediately available for comment.

Kurdish separatists, leftists and Islamic militants have carried out bomb attacks in Turkey in the past.

i hope people living in those areas r ok... Mamaris and Bagcilar in Istanbul.

my thoughts r with u all.

Mine too


I heared on the news they don't mean to kill people, they only want to scare the tourism away, so that Turkey will get into trouble. But mistakes are easily made. I can't believe they take such risks with human lives to scare tourism away!!

I only just woke up, and BBC World only said 'There were also boms in Turkey, if you want to know more about it you can check the website'..

Pff as if it's not important! Thanks all for posting the links My thoughts are with Turkey..

It makes me all so sad and angry again..

Hi all,
I have been also glued to the news since I woke up this morning, I straight away texted my girlfriend in Istanbul I know it happened last night but I still worry about her so much. My thoughts are with the Turkish and British people injured in these blatant attacks on people.
