DIYARBAKIR, Turkey (Reuters) - A blast that wounded dozens of people in the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir on Friday was caused by a car bomb, the provincial governor's office said, adding Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants were believed to be responsible. It said in a written statement that the blast occurred around 8 am (0500 GMT) near a police facility in the Baglar district of Diyarbakir, the largest city in the mainly Kurdish southeast.
