Several people were injured Friday in an explosion at a police checkpoint in southern Turkey in a region bordering Syria, the Dogan news agency reported. Among those injured was a police officer, the report said. The incident took place near Suruc, a town a few kilometres north of Kobane, a Syrian city that Kurdish fighters, with the help of US-led airstrikes, retook last month from the militant group after a lengthy siege, dpa reported. -- SPA 14:30 LOCAL TIME 11:30 GMT تغريد
