A police officer was killed and nearly a dozen people were wounded in a blast in front of a police station in central Turkey on Friday. Three men sped their vehicle into a police station in the city of Kayseri, where they fired weapons before one of the attackers set off a bomb strapped to his body, it said. Policeman killed in suicide bombing in central Turkey One officer was killed instantly and another left in critical condition, AFP has reported. Ten civilians, including several children, who were nearby were wounded, Turkey's Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin was quoted as saying. “The attackers seemed to have carried out the bombing in panic after fleeing a traffic stop earlier in the day at Kayseri city entrance and targeting the first official building they saw,” Sahin said. Suicide bombings are rare in Turkey, which frequently sees roadside explosions and bomb attacks carried out by the PKK. The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey and by much of the international community, took up arms in Kurdish-majority southeastern Turkey in 1984, sparking a conflict that has claimed some 45,000 lives. Three people were killed and at least 15 were injured in a blast in downtown Ankara in September 2011, while eight persons were wounded in an explosion near a bus station in Istanbul in May 2011. Turkish authorities believe that the PKK is responsible for both attacks. Tanjug
