32 dead in fresh Turkey quake
ISTANBUL - The death toll from a 5.6 magnitude earthquake that struck eastern Turkey rose to 32 on Saturday, including two journalists, authorities said. Announcing the new toll, which stood at 27 earlier Saturday, the emergency unit of the prime minister's office said on its website that 30 people had been rescued since the quake on Wednesday. Rescuer workers overnight retrieved the bodies of two reporters from the private Dogan news agency -- 26-year-old Cem Emir and 58-year-old Sebahattin Yilmaz -- from the debris of a hotel which was toppled by the earthquake. The journalists were in the area to report on last month's much deadlier earthquake, which killed more than 600 people. Wednesday's quake hit Edremit town, some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from Van province, according to the Istanbul-based Kandilli Observatory.
