Turkey: Attack follows Recep Tayyip Erdogan poll rally

A policeman has been killed during an attack in northern Turkey, shortly after a visit by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish media say.

Reports said a grenade was thrown at a police vehicle near the city of Kastamonu, and then gunmen opened fire. The prime minister had been in the city earlier, campaigning for next month's general election.

The police had been escorting a bus carrying officials from Mr Erdogan's governing AK Party away from the rally. Two police officers were also wounded in the attack, Turkish TV said. Footage showed the police car completely burned out.
