18 people were detained on suspicion of links with a deadly car bomb explosion near a courthouse in the city of Izmir in Turkey, Turkey’s Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag announced Friday.

A police officer and a court employee have been killed and at least three people were injured in the attack on Thursday.

Authorities have “no doubt” that the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was behind the attack, the Hurriyet Daily News outlet cited Bozdag as saying.
