Head of the Turkish state lottery was shot dead in his office
Employees said Balak had shouted for them to call security after the attacker entered his office with a gun and they then heard gunshots. The lottery is scheduled for privatisation under the country's multi-billion dollar loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund, but no timetable has been fixed.
According to the lottery's Web site it had a turnover of 1.4 billion lira (US$1.2 billion) last year.
Balak was born in 1952 and had been appointed general manager in 2003. A Ozturk had been the subject of an investigation at the lottery and there were reports of animosity between the two men. 17 Nov 07
