Bomb explodes outside Turkey McDonald's

ISTANBUL, Turkey, May 20 (UPI) -- CNN reports a bomb went off outside a McDonald's in Istanbul and Italian police defused two homemade devices outside a McDonald's in Rome.

No injuries were reported in the Istanbul blast, which occurred about 6:15 p.m. The restaurant manager said a call came in about 15 minutes before the attack, warning those inside to evacuate. The device was planted beneath a car, which burst into flames, damaging at least four other vehicles nearby.

CNN said the Rome bombs bore banners with slogans against war and imperialism. The bombs were inside bags that looked like carry-on luggage.
