Female bombers hit mosque in Turkey (Reuters)
Friday 07 April 2006, 21:59 Makka Time, 18:59 GMT
Two female bombers have detonated explosives at a mosque in Turkey.

One bomber died in the attack in the Black Sea city of Ordu on Friday, and the other was injured.

CNN Turk said a third person was also injured in the blast in the toilets of a Quran teaching facility at the mosque. Television images showed a building that appeared to have been gutted.

So many bomb attacks in Turkey (from the article):
1. Two female bombers have detonated explosives at a mosque in Turkey.

2. Separately, a bomb exploded in the road in Diyarbakir in Turkey's southeast, injuring three people including two children.

3. There have been a number of bombings and violent protests in Turkey's southeast in recent days, leaving scores dead.

4. The attacks came after a bomb ripped through offices of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) on the outskirts of Istanbul on Wednesday, injuring two people.

5. Last week another bomb attack in Turkey's largest city, Istanbul, which killed one person, was blamed on Kurdish militants.

6. A series of devastating bombs went off in Istanbul in November 2003, targeting British and Jewish sites and killing more than 60 people.

1. Well, there are a lot of Kurds in Southeastern Turkey...
And there is a growing number of Fundamental Islamic movemements...

Anyone could see that the Iraqi invasion would cause instability in the surrounding countries....

Especially with a large sense by the Kurdish scattered across Turkey, Iran and Iraq that it is time for a country called Kurdistan......

But hey, what do I know....
