Turkey: 'Simultaneous explosions have hit two small hotels in the Turkish city of Istanbul, reports say. Two people were killed and at least seven others injured in the blasts early on Tuesday, police said. "It appears to be a terrorist attack," police chief Celalettin Cerrah told the semi-official Anatolia news agency. Shortly afterwards, two more blasts hit a gas storage site on the outskirts of Istanbul. There were no casualties and a small fire was put out.' (BBC)
