FNC hasn't said anything else about it. Debka (for what it's worth) has reported this as well.

No big deal. Nothing to see.

Blast hurts three in plane at Istanbul airport

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - An explosion inside a plane at Istanbul airport has injured three people hours before U.S. President George
W. Bush is due to fly out of the city from the same location, Turkish police say.

They said the Turkish Airlines plane, on a domestic flight from the western port of Izmir, was being cleaned after landing in Istanbul.

Turkey's biggest city is hosting a NATO summit attended by Bush and dozens of other world leaders, and security is extremely
tight. Bush was due to leave Turkey from a different terminal later on Tuesday.

Police said they could not immediately say if the blast was caused by a bomb.

A Turkish Airlines spokesman said three cleaners boarded the plane at 12:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m. British time) after passengers had
disembarked.

"One of the workers picked up a wallet from the ground and there was an explosion. He lost a finger and the two others were
injured but only slightly," the spokesman told Reuters.

A series of small explosions in the run-up to the NATO summit, one of which killed four people including the bomber, has left
nerves on edge. They were blamed on leftist groups that have long been active in Turkey.

Hmmm. Read this story. It talks about a foiled terrorist hijacking on a flight towards Istanbul. I'm sure there's a connection . . .
