 A suspect has been killed and two policemen injured in clashes in northeastern Turkey as police tried to track down three suspects following a tip-off. The semi-official Anatolia news agency said on Monday that police surrounded a supermarket after a tip-off that three suspects were inside, touching off a clash in which one policeman was injured. The three managed to flee but were cornered several hours later when a new clash killed one suspect and left a second policeman injured. A second suspect was captured and the third escaped, the agency said. The report identified the victim only as a "terrorist", the term officials use to refer to rebels from the main Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) or leftist extremists, although Kurdish rebels are not generally active in the northeast of the country. |
