Bomb blast in Istanbul injures four people: media

ISTANBUL: A bomb blast in the Istanbul district of Maltepe wounded four people overnight, Turkey's state-run Anadolu Agency reported on Monday.

It said the wounded were hurt by metal pieces from the device which was planted under an overpass on a highway.

It was not clear how badly hurt they were or who planted the explosives.

Turkey has been under a grip of violence for the last few months.

In April, a female suicide bomber wounded eight people when she blew herself up near the main mosque in the northwestern Turkish city of Bursa.
