Explosion in the car park of the Antalya Chamber of Commerce and Industry earlier on today.
Press blackout in place but HDN (http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/10-injured-in-explosion-at-trade-chamber-parking-lot-in-turkeys-antalya.aspx?PageID=238&NID=105324&NewsCatID=341)published short article and CNN (https://twitter.com/CNNTURK_ENG)Turk have reported it.
Initial reports are that ten or so folks were injured and that it may have been a faulty LPG vehicle that caused it. The ACCI offices are well away from the centre, and any areas tourists frequent.
The good old Daily Express though headlines "Antalya explosion: Huge 'car bomb' rocks British tourist hotspot in Turkey".

And The Express reporter Patrick Christys also wrote " The Mediterranean coastal town is regularly targeted by militant extremists, with a rocket striking a commercial facility in August followed by a suicide bomb attack which killed 50 people attending a wedding."
That took place in Gaziantep,only 800km or so from Antalya.
The good old Daily Express indeed.

Also in the HDN today is a US travel warning across Turkey for possible imminent terror attacks.
" US citizens should consider the need to travel to Turkey. " :(
