Turkey election: Four dead in clash as pre-poll tension rises

Four people are dead and eight wounded in southern Turkey, after election campaigning descended into violence. The incident has heightened tensions ahead of the 24 June vote, in which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is aiming for a second term. The clash broke out in the mainly Kurdish town of Suruc, when an MP from the ruling AKP, Ibrahim Halil Yildiz, was touring some shops.  Pro-government and pro-Kurdish accounts of the incident differ significantly.
The state-run Anadolu news agency reports that Kurdish militant shopkeepers attacked the MP's entourage, and says his brother is among the dead. It says supporters of the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) were involved in the bloodshed. But opposition sources say the politician's bodyguards opened fire when he received a hostile reception.
Eight people were taken to hospital and police made 10 arrests, security sources say.
