Blast Kills 9 at Syria-Turkey Border Turkish media say the explosion of a car near the border between Turkey and Syria has killed at least nine people and wounded 30 others. Turkey`s NTV news channel says the blast happened Monday on Turkish soil, about 40 meters from the Cilvegozu border crossing in the southern province of Hatay. Several reports are quoting local mayor Huseyin Sanverdi as saying a Syrian-registered car is believed to have been at the center of the blast. Further details were not immediately available. The border area between the two countries has been the scene of fighting between rebels and Syrian President Bashar Assad`s military forces. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/blast-kills-9-at-syriaturkey-border/1 601259.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/blast-kills-9-at-syriaturkey-border/1601259.html
