A Turkish town mayor died today after a bomb exploded in his lemon orchard, the state-run Anatolian news agency said.
Fevzi Dogan, 55, died in hospital from his wounds. There were no immediate claims of responsibility.
A member of the conservative True Path Party (DYP), Dogan was mayor of Atakent near the city of Silifke on the eastern Mediterranean coast.
Kurdish separatists, far-left extremists and Islamic militants have all carried out bomb attacks in the past.
A Turkish cell in Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network said it was behind four suicide truck bombings in Istanbul in November 2003, when 61 people were killed and hundreds wounded.
