A car bomb at weekend ripped through a wedding reception in
Turkey, forcing wedding guests to scramble for safety. Panic ensued when the windows of the room they
were in shatter. Adults quickly gathered up children and herded them out of the
room.
The car bomb was an attack on a police station in the
eastern province of Van, which killed a police officer and two civilians. At
least 73 other people, including 53 civilians
and 20 police officers were wounded, officials said.
Authorities blamed Wednesday’s attack on the Kurdistan
Workers' Party, or PKK, which has launched a campaign of car bombings targeting
police stations or roadside bomb attacks on police vehicles.
Last week, PKK commander Cemil Bayik threatened increased attacks against police in Turkish cities.
Hours later, another car bombing hit police headquarters in
the eastern city of Elazig, killing at least three police office officers and
injuring 146 other people, Governor Murat Zorluoglu said. At least 14 of them
were in a serious condition.

They have a list of approved caterers and valet parkers which you are required to choose from. The event coordinator from wedding venues chicago were very professional and cool enough to let us come in and tour on a Saturday while another wedding was setting up.
