| A female suicide bomber blew herself up Friday in front of a mosque in the Black Sea city of Ordu, injuring one person, police said. Another bomb exploded in southeastern Turkey as a vehicle passed by, wounding two people, officials said. The explosions followed the worst street rioting in Turkey in a decade, which has left 16 people dead, mostly Kurdish rioters. A militant Kurdish group had vowed to step up attacks to avenge those deaths. |

| #2 The PKK used female (and child) suicide bombings throughout the 1990s. They're a Marxist cult that you can find a pretty good primer on here. The PUK has fought against them alongside the Turks on numerous occasions - their version of an independent Kurdistan would look something like Pol Pot's Cambodia. |

| #1 This sounds like something new - a Kurdish nationalist suicide bomber ? |
