                                 Whoops!


In Seyhan, Adana, Hüseyin A. (24) went to the family of Esra K. (18)
to ask for her hand in marriage.  When the family refused, the pair
eloped.  So Esra's brother Ferhat K. (22), cousin D.K. (15) and their
friend Şeymuz S.(19) went to Hüseyin A.'s house with gasoline.


                             Whoops! (again)

However (!), when the three arsonists spread the gas and lit it with
a cigarette lighter they were caught amid the flames themselves.
All three were saved but remain in intensive care.
