Turkey: Explosions death toll rises

None

Rescue workers say they have recovered five more bodies at two separate explosion sites in an industrial district of the Turkish capital, bringing the death toll to at least 17.

 

Authorities say Friday they are investigating the cause of the blasts which shook the same area of Ankara hours apart on Thursday. A possible malfunctioning of an oxygen tank is believed to have caused the first blast which partly collapsed two stories of a factory. Rescue workers pulled out another body from the rubble there, bringing the death toll to seven. (AP)
