Among the injured were eight policemen, one military officer and two soldiers.

The blast Thursday occurred in the city centre when a car loaded with plastic-explosives was detonated as the police bus was passing by, Turkish broadcasters reported.

Television footage showed burning cars and damaged buildings at the site of the blast.

A suicide attacker Tuesday had detonated explosives near a police checkpoint in the Southern Turkish city Merzin.
