Six police killed, 23 wounded in bomb attack in Turkey's Diyarbakir
[AlAhram] Six coppers were killed and at least 23 people maimed on Thursday in a kaboom targeting a Turkish police vehicle in the Kurdish-majority southeastern city of Diyarbakir, a security source said.The attack took place a day before Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, whose government has waged a relentless campaign against Kurdish rebels since last summer, was to make a rare visit to the city. Speaking to AFP, the source said a remotely-operated boom-mobile went off as a police vehicle drove past the city's main bus terminal. Of the 23 maimed, nine were civilians and the rest police. Ambulances rushed to the scene, where images showed the police bus reduced to a burnt-out wreck by the force of the blast. Posted by: trailing wife 2016-04-01 |
