(02-02) 15:18 PST ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) --

Turkish police discovered a bomb in a nightclub near a southern Turkish military base used by the United States, a U.S. military official said Wednesday. The semiofficial Turkish news agency said the homemade bomb was defused by police.

"We were advised that a bomb was found off of the base," the U.S. military official said on condition of anonymity. "We are taking protective measures."

Private CNN-Turk television said the bomb, containing 11 pounds of explosives, was found late Tuesday in a club near the entrance of Incirlik air base, where some 1,400 U.S. troops are based as part of a NATO mission. A number of bars and cafes are located in the area.

The incident came ahead of a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Turkey this weekend. Washington wants to expand its use of the base, which is only an hour's flight from Iraq.
