At least 7 civilians dead, dozens wounded in two attacks in Turkey
[IsraelTimes] Over 30 injured in simultaneous bombings in nation’s southeast, with officials saying Kurdish rebels to blame

At least seven non-combatants were killed on Wednesday in two separate kabooms blamed on the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
’s southeast, a regional security source said.

Four were killed in a car kaboom in the center of the city of Diyarbakir while another three civilians bit the dust in a near simultaneous bombing in Kiziltepe in Mardin province to the south, said the source, who asked not to be named.

Both kabooms had been aimed at passing police vehicles, the Dogan news agency said. NTV television said 25 people were maimed in the Mardin attack and 13 people maimed in Diyarbakir.

The authorities believe both blasts have been carried out by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a Turkish official said.

Hundreds of members of the Turkish security forces have been killed by the PKK in attacks since the collapse of a two-year ceasefire in July last year.

Earlier Wednesday, five Turkish soldiers were killed in an attack blamed on PKK gunnies in Uludere in the southeastern Sirnak province close to the Iraqi border.
