PLEASE NOTE EDIT CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT WAS ORIGINALLY 4:3<br/> <br />Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan is the target of residents' anger in the town where a mine fire has killed 283 people.<br/> <br />About 100 more are feared to be trapped underground at the pit near the town of Soma.<br/> <br />The hostility is down to the government's perceived cosiness with mining tycoons.<br/> <br />Also its failure to ensure safety and a lack of information on the rescue effort.<br/> <br />Turkey suffers from one of the world's worst records on workplace safety.<br/> <br />The Soma mine disaster is the country's deadliest industrial accident yet.<br/> <br />Erdogan has expressed regret for the disaster.<br/> <br />But he's said such accidents weren't uncommon and turned defensive when he was asked if there's been proper precautions in place.<br/> <br />Public anger's been fuelled further by these photographs doing the rounds on social media.<br/> <br />The pictures appear to show one of Erdogan's aides kicking a protester as he was detained
