Over 200 Killed in Turkish Mining Blast 
----------------------------------------


 
At least 205 people have died in an explosion at a coal mine in western

rise. It is believed to be the worst-ever industrial accident in Turkish
history. The International Labor Organization says Turkey has the
world's third-highest rate of worker deaths.
