Rescue team members carry a victim after a mine explosion near Soma, Manisa province, Turkey, early 14 May 2014. A mining accident has killed at least 151 people in western Turkey, the country s energy minister said, as rescue operations continued after midnight to save hundreds of miners trapped underground. Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said he feared the death toll could rise, after an explosion at a coal mine started a fire on 13 May afternoon with 787 miners underground. Emergency responders had extinguished the fire but were still battling to clear heavy smoke from the tunnels more than two kilometres underground. EPA/TOLGA BOZOGLU
