The blast struck near the police station in Diyarbakir where some of the pro-Kurdish party leaders were being held in a terrorism probe. A car bomb rocked southeastern Turkey's largest city on Friday, killing at least one person and injuring more than 40, security sources said, hours after police detained the leaders of the mostly Kurdish region's biggest political party. The blast struck near the police station in Diyarbakir where some of the party leaders were being held in a terrorism probe. Internet monitoring group Turkey Blocks said access to social media sites had been blocked. Parliamentarians in Turkey normally enjoy immunity from prosecution, but the immunity of many lawmakers, including HDP deputies, was lifted earlier this year.
