| [AnNahar] Two soldiers were killed in southeastern ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Tuesday when a mine went kaboom!in the latest attack on security forces blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the army said. Kurdish hard boyz detonated a remote-controlled mine as a military convoy passed by in the Arakoy region of Sirnak province bordering Iraq and Syria, it said. The kaboom triggered festivities between Turkish soldiers and PKK rebels, it added. Initial reports said the corpse count rose to three after one victim died in hospital but this was later denied by official sources. The army said two soldiers had died and one soldier and one village guard was maimed in the attack by the "separatist terror organization", its customary phrase for the PKK. The PKK, blacklisted as a terrorist group by Turkey and its Western allies, took up arms for self-rule in 1984 in an armed struggle which has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
kaboom!at around 8am during a routine check of the road linking Sirnak and the town of Balveren, the Hurriyet reported. According to the state-run Anadolu news agency, the vehicle carrying the Turkish troops was then attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire in the vicinity of Arakoy village. Anadolu added that Turkish security forces and air support were deployed to the area in order to apprehend the suspected PKK turbans. | |
