Two killed in Turkey hotel attacks

Explosions rocked two small hotels and a gas plant in Istanbul early today in apparent terrorist attacks, killing two people and injuring seven others.

A gas leak at the liquefied petroleum gas plant, where cooking gas canisters were filled, was under control, said Tayfun Demiroren, an official at the plant. He said two bombs were placed under storage tanks at the plant on the outskirts of Istanbul.
