ISTANBUL, June 15 (Reuters) - An explosion in a tea garden in Istanbul slightly injured three people on Sunday, broadcaster CNN Turk reported on its website.

Police were investigating the blast, which occurred near a gendarme paramilitary police station, CNN Turk said, adding it could have been caused by a percussion bomb.

Explosions are not uncommon in Turkey, where Kurdish separatists, Islamic militants and extreme leftists have all been blamed for bombings. (Reporting by Emma Ross-Thomas; Editing by Matthew Jones)
