PKK rebels ambush troops, botch attack on school bus
DIYARBAKIR, Turkey: Two Turkish soldiers were killed and two others wounded Tuesday in an ambush by separatist Kurdish rebels, while a remote-controlled land mine targeted a school bus, leaving two more soldiers injured, officials said. Rebels from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) opened fire on soldiers on patrol near Semdinli, in southeastern Hakkari Province, in an area close to the border with Iraq, killing two of them. Two others were wounded in the attack.

In Pulumur, Tunceli Province, some 650 kilometers northwest of Hakkari, rebels set off a land mine by remote control as an armored minibus carrying the children of local soldiers was passing by, the officials said. The children escaped the attack unscathed, but the explosion badly damaged a military escort vehicle following the minibus, wounding two soldiers, they said.
