| 2009-04-30 |
| A roadside bomb killed nine Turkish soldiers in an armored personnel carrier Wednesday in southeastern Turkey, making it the deadliest attack by suspected Kurdish rebels in six months, officials said. In a separate ambush near the border with Iraq, guerrillas fatally shot a Turkish soldier, local media reported. The vehicle targeted in Wednesday's bomb attack had been accompanied by a tank to secure an area near Lice, a town in the southeastern Diyarbakir province, before a larger military convoy passed, military chief Gen. Ilker Basbug said. |
