A roadside car bomb exploded, damaging a police minibus on a highway in southeast Turkey's Diyarbakir province on Friday, and nine people in the bus were taken to hospital as a precaution, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said.

Five people, believed to be the perpetrators of the blast and collaborators, have been detained, Soylu said, blaming the attack on "the terrorist organisation," which usually refers to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
