| Kurdish guerrillas killed 24 Turkish soldiers in an assault on military posts in southeastern Turkey early on Wednesday. Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants opened fire with automatic rifles on a military post at Cukurca in Hakkari province, on the Iraqi border. Several places are reported to have come under attack. Gov. Muammer Turker confirmed the attacks, but gave no information on casualties. NTV television said as many as 24 security force members were killed. The rebels have intensified their attacks in recent times, killing dozens of members of the country's security force and at least 17 civilians since mid-July. |
