Hi Dee, I heard this on the news today in Holland,This is true. I don't know what happened,I wasn't there ofcourse, but on the news they told a guy walked in a bar, he drank a cup of thea, then he wanted money but they didn't gave it. He threw a handgranate in the bar, ranned outside and jumped in a car that was waiting for him. This bar was known as a illegal casino and the guy just came out of prison. One guy of the turkish mafia is killed, others are injured. I don't know what's true of this story but there was a bomb in a bar, that's for sure. They had pictures of it. I hate all of this violence!!

Yeah, i heard about it as well. And it seems definitely not related to any terrorist group.

Sounds like it was something between the ppl there but it still shakes u up hearing these things nowadays..

As i said before, nothing will ever put me off going to Turkey or Kus.. but i can understand why people are becomming afraid.. sure we all feel the same here on Kusfans

Fifteen people have been injured in an explosion in Izmir, Turkey's third largest city, police said.
The blast happened at a cafe in the affluent Alsancak district of the Aegean city.

"Two grenades were thrown into the cafe and exploded but the attack has no political links," Izmir police chief Huseyin Capkin told reporters.

A spate of deadly bomb attacks claimed by Kurdish separatists has hit Turkey this year.

This latest attack comes a day after the separatist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which in the past has carried out bomb attacks, declared a unilateral ceasefire.

Turkey's top general has rejected the ceasefire by armed rebels, vowing to fight on "until not a single armed terrorist is left".

General Yasar Buyukanit, the new chief of military staff, said the PKK must "lay down arms unconditionally and give themselves up".

The PKK's conflict with Turkey has claimed more than 30,000 lives since it began in 1984.

i was hoping my ears were playing tricks on me! i hope everyone in Izmir is ok And thanks for all your info girlies xxx
