A blast and fire shook the Turkish Embassy in The Hague on Tuesday, but there were no reports of injuries, an Embassy spokeswoman said.
The Turkish ambassador was quoted on Dutch television as saying the explosion was caused by a bomb and that a man was seen fleeing the scene. "I don't think there are any injuries," said Mieke Swaving, the Turkish ambassador's secretary.
Adjacent buildings were evacuated and surrounding streets were cordoned off. Explosives and anti-terrorism teams were at work at the scene, Dutch television reported.(Albawaba.com)
