Turkish official escapes bomb attack in southeast Turkey
[Ynet] Officials say suspected Kurdish Death Eaters have detonated an improvised bomb in southeastern ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... as the armored vehicle of a district official was passing by. No one was hurt in the attack. The blast occurred Friday in the town of Baykan in the mostly Kurdish province of Siirt. It came days after two ruling party officials serving in district organizations were killed in attacks also blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK. Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said an operation was launched in the area to catch the assailants, adding that such attacks would not "end (Turkey's) patience and determination" in the fight against the PKK.
