At least four people were injured when a bomb exploded at a building housing a Turkish-US association in the southern Turkish city of Adana today.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast. Adana is home to a sprawling airbase used by the US military to supply its forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"The explosion was in the hall on the ground floor at the entrance. Four people have been injured, but none of them seriously," the head of the US-Turkish association said.

The state Anatolian news agency quoted the governor of Adana province as saying five people, four of them English language students, had been hurt in the explosion.
