Turkey accuses the Kurds
------
Finnish police arrested Tuesday four people suspected of setting fire to the Turkish Embassy in Helsinki, injuring one employee, the AP reported. (UPDATED)
A Turkish Embassy employee was injured in the early morning arson attack on the embassy building in central Helsinki.
The door of the embassy building was set ablaze at around 3:00 a.m. (0000 GMT), though the fire was quickly detected by a police patrol and extinguished, Finnish police said.
Turkish Ambassador Reha Keskintepe told AP that the incident appears to be linked to a similar attack on a Turkish diplomatic mission in Austria on Sunday.

A fire, thought to be deliberately started, broke out in the Turkish consulate in the western Austrian city of Salzburg early Sunday, local police said.
"There are signs of an attack with a fire bomb," the Austrian news agency APA reported Salzberg police spokesman, Hermann Rechberger, as saying.
He added that nobody was injured in the fire, which neighbours reported to the emergency services.
Fire fighters, who quickly put out the flames, said they found in one room stones and fragments from a broken bottle that could have contained a flammable substance.
