Blast in Istanbul kills one, wounds five

ISTANBUL, Feb 13 (Reuters) - One person was killed and five wounded in an explosion at an Istanbul supermarket on Monday, CNN Turk commercial television said.

Police confirmed the blast at the Kiler supermarket on the European side of Istanbul, but could not say whether anybody had been killed or injured.

Police, ambulances and fire engines rushed to the scene of the blast, which came days after a bomb exploded at an Internet cafe in Istanbul, killing one person and injuring 16 others.

A militant Kurdish separatist movement known as the Kurdistan Liberation Hawks claimed responsibility for last Thursday's blast. The group is believed to have links to outlawed Kurdish rebels fighting security forces in southeast Turkey.
