Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay on Saturday said initial investigation shows that the deadly blasts, which killed at least 45 people and injured over 100 in a Turkish town, are linked to Syria's intelligence agency, Today's Zaman newspaper reported.

Atalay said that the investigation into the bombings is about to complete, but some information shows that "Syrian regime's intelligence agency, al-Mukhabarat, is behind the blasts."

"The organization responsible for the attacks and those behind it are clear to a great extent. Their license plates have been detected," the deputy prime minister told reporters, adding "The incident is not related to Syrian refugees or the Syrian opposition."

Earlier in the day, explosions hit Turkish town Reyhanli near the border with Syria, causing heavy casualties.
