Dramatic footage, broadcast by EAC News, has captured the moment a minibus was hit by an oncoming freight train in Turkey. In the clip, captured by CCTV, a few seconds earlier the minibus can be seen maneuvering around what looks like a lowered barrier as cars queue behind another one in the opposite lane. Why the driver chose to cross the line anyway, with the train so close, we will never know. He died along with his five passengers. Seven bystanders were injured.

Police says the suicide bomber was on a motorbike packed with explosives when he rammed into a military convoy.

It says it is stepping up its campaign against the Pakistani army.
