'Two dead' in fresh Turkey blast

At least two people have died and five others have been injured in a blast
in southern Turkey, according to Turkish television reports.

The explosion happened in the centre of the resort city of Antalya,
the private broadcaster NTV said.

This blast comes hours after three bombs hit the south-west coastal town
of Marmaris, injuring at least 21.

Six Turkish nationals were also reportedly injured in a bomb explosion
in Istanbul on Sunday night.

11. What thugish black ops intel mafia is doing this? It aint Kurds.

BUSH LOST...Afganistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran...so now they hope they can smear the Kurds...use them for baiting the Turks on ...into a full fledge border war.

This SUX! The KURDS have been honorable from day #1.

We will not tolerate this media manipulation any longer.

STOP IT!

3. What's going on in Antalya?

It seems like this is happening frequently. Wasn't this the 2nd attack in the last couple of months?

4. Odd usage of "fresh"

:cry:.. When I use the word fresh, I usually associate it with fresh laundry, fresh bread... :cry:

5. It's a British thing, like the way they use "lovely" or "bloody." n/t

[Kailassa]

8. Well, if they only have those words to choose from,

I guess they could hardly call the blast "lovely" or "bloody".

[lithiumbomb]

9. well, sorta

They use it to mean "new" or "current."

13. They use that term on the WB network

"Stay tuned for a fresh 'Smallville', next on WB29"

I alwasy thought it was a little weird.

6. I thought the same thing, latest would have been a better choice.

7. Those turkeys Really need to be thawed before deep-frying ...

If these turkeys hear anything about "bad taste" they could get seriously upset.
