Bomb attack on police vehicle in Turkey's Diyarbakir kills 3 - sources

DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, May 10 (Reuters) A car bomb killed three people and wounded 45 when it struck a police vehicle today in Diyarbakir, the main city in southeastern Turkey where security forces are trying to crush a Kurdish militant insurgency, the governor's office said.
Explosives in the vehicle were detonated from a distance as an armoured police van passed, wounding 12 police officers, the governor's office said. A Reuters witness heard a big explosion in the city centre, followed by ambulance sirens. Black smoke rose over the site and debris was scattered along a wide avenue.
Five of the wounded were inmates being moved while under police custody, a security source said. A senior official said some of them were members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group being taken to hospital and that they may have been targeted for being suspected informants.
