| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A child and a police officer were killed in two separate attacks in Diyarbakir province in southeast ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... Sunday following the breakdown of a cease-fire between the government and Kurdish hard boys, security sources said. Fighting between the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the military has taken place almost daily since last month. The PKK has been hitting military and police targets after the government resumed air strikes on PKK camps in northern Iraq. One child was killed and one other civilian maimed after an bomb exploded as soldiers passed by. In a separate incident, a group of assailants in Diclekent, an upscale neighborhood of Diyarbakir, opened fire on coppers killing one and wounding another, according to security sources. The PKK was responsible, the sources said. |
