ISTANBUL, Muharram 16, 1437, October 29, 2015, SPA -- At least six people have died in Turkey and dozens have been hospitalised over the last three days after being poisoned by bootleg alcohol, Health Minister Mehmet Muezzinoglu said on Thursday, according to Reuters. CNN Turk and other news channels reported the death toll had reached nine, citing local officials. Some 40 people were treated in hospital, with at least five in intensive care. "Citizens must take care to look for alcohol that meets standards with tax labels, rather than inexpensive products," Muezzinoglu said in comments broadcast live by CNN Turk. --SPA 14:54 LOCAL TIME 11:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
