They said the Turkish Airlines plane, on a domestic flight from the western port of Izmir, was being cleaned after landing in Istanbul.

"One of the workers picked up a wallet from the ground and there was an explosion. He lost a finger and the two others were injured but only slightly," the spokesman told Reuters.
