17 Turkish PM security police officers get food poisoning
İZMİR
Yıldırım had arrived in İzmir for the opening ceremony of a new highway, and a retinue of police officers was responsible for tightened security measures around the hotel where he was staying.
However, 17 of those police officers were poisoned by a chicken, meat and potatoes meal with which they were provided. They were taken for treatment to the nearby 9 Eylül University Hospital, the Alsancak Nevvar Salih İşgören State Hospital and the Tepecik Research and Training Hospital.
All were subsequently discharged from the hospitals and are reportedly in a stable condition.
The provincial Food, Agriculture and Livestock Directorate has announced that it has opened an investigation into the situation.
