A female suicide bomber wounded at least 13 people when she blew herself up near the main mosque in the northwestern Turkish city of Bursa on Wednesday, officials said, the fifth suicide bombing in a major urban centre this year.

Photographs from the scene showed the severed torso of what appeared to be the bomber lying at the side of the mosque. Police ushered dazed passers-by out of surrounding streets as ambulances and forensics teams arrived.

The local governor's office said the woman was thought to have detonated a device she was wearing at 5:26 pm (1426 GMT) near the western gate of Bursa's Grand Mosque. Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said 13 people were injured, none critically.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.

1. Thankfully, none are critically injured

We have a designer in our office that is supposed to go to Turkey in the next 2 weeks. I think we may have to rethink that trip.

I'd love to go, myself, some day. I have friends who have gone, and it's amazing, but not for the near future, at least.

They went around 10 years ago. I wouldn't go at this time.
