ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Authorities say an explosion at a coal
mine in northern Turkey has trapped at least 15 workers
underground.
      The blast took place Monday at the Karadon mine near the Black
Sea port town of Zonguldak. Turkey's coal mine agency said rescue
workers were trying to reach the workers below the surface.
Engineer Husnu Unal says eight other workers were rescued.
