"DIYARBAKIR, Turkey (Reuters) -- Flash floods caused by torrential rain have killed 21 people across southeast Turkey, most swept away in their vehicles, officials said on Wednesday.

Fourteen people died when floods overwhelmed a minibus in Cinar on the road from the region's largest city Diyarbakir as it travelled to a wedding in the neighboring province of Mardin.

Another three people were killed in floods in Diyarbakir's Bismil district after hours of heavy rain overnight swept away many vehicles. Six people were still missing there.

Helicopters and boats supported rescue efforts in Cinar and Bismil, bringing to safety 300 people stranded in their homes.

Authorities sent a 25-strong search and rescue team to help with relief efforts in the southeastern province of Sirnak bordering Iraq, where four people died, including two infants.

Some houses were also damaged in the floods. Among the dead in Sirnak was a 70-year killed by falling debris from a house."

This is a song i like to listen a lot lately...It's Pussycats Dolls- I dont need a man!

I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete
So let me break it down
I can get off when you ain't around
Oh!

You know I got my own life
And I bought everything that's in it
So if you want to be with me
It ain't all about the bling you bringing
I want a love that's for real
And without that then no deal
And baby I don't need a hand
If it only wants to grab one thing

The more you try
The less I buy it
And I don't have to think it through
You know if I'm feeling you

This is some information from Hurriyet newspaper regarding the bombings that took place this summer(august)in Marmaris:

http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/english/5321272.asp?gid=74

"The central suspect in this summer's bombing in the resort city of Marmaris, which injured 21 people including a significant number of foreign tourists, has been caught by police following a tip from his father.


27 year old Memet Y., whose fingerprints were identified on the bomb material in the wake of the incident in Marmaris, had been in hiding since August 27, but was caught yesterday when his father alerted police after the suspect arrived on a Bayram visit to his mother and other relatives in Gaziatep.

A statement from Memet Y.'s father yesterday was as follows: "Our village has always produced brave, courageous and honest people. I am embarrassed to have such a son."

Following Memet Y.'s testimony yesterday in Mugla police headquarters, police there said that the suspect had also been picked up previously in connection with a bombing in Antalya, but had been set free when there was not enough evidence to hold him."
