(REUTERS) -- Turkish NTV news channel said the driver of one of the three buses and a pilgrim were wounded in the attack at a checkpoint just across the Syrian border.
Private news agency Dogan showed images of a passenger bus with one of its side windows smashed, apparently from a gunshot, after it returned to the Turkish border town of Cizre.
A Turkish foreign ministry official said he was aware of an incident and the ministry was trying to establish the details.
