Islamists, Kurdish groups clash in Turkey, two killed
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two were killed and three injured Saturday in festivities between Kurdish rebels and a Sunni Islamist group in southeast Turkey near the Syrian border, a local governor's office said.
Tensions have escalated in the town of Cizre since Friday night when the Sunni Moslem Huda-Par group attacked tents belonging to rebels of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a security source told Agence-La Belle France Presse.
The two deaths were attributed by Dogan news agency to be the father of a leader of the Islamist party and a 19-year old Kurdish youth.
