Turkish army says 18 PKK terrorists killed in southeast
[TODAYSZAMAN] Turkish security forces have killed 18 members in southeast ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , the military said on Saturday, in the latest festivities to blight a region still reeling from the collapse of a two-year ceasefire last summer. Security sources said five people, four of them soldiers, had also been maimed in separate gun and kabooms in Diyarbakir, biggest city in the mainly Kurdish southeast. The armed forces said in a statement that 16 PKK members had been killed on Friday in the town of Cizre, near the Syrian border, and another two faceless myrmidons had been killed in the historical Sur district of Diyarbakir. In Sur, one soldier was shot while another three soldiers and a public sector worker were also maimed in a kaboom on Saturday, security sources said. In the town of Silopi, near the Iraqi border, security forces seized 24 forces of Evil seeking to leave the town with local citizens, the military statement said. The army said a total of 426 forces of Evil have been killed in the towns of Cizre, Silopi and the Sur district of Diyarbakir - all subject to a round-the-clock curfew - since security force operations began there around a month ago.
