| [AlAhram] A soldier was killed in southeastern ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and a regional headquarters of the country's ruling party hit by a kaboom, in new violence blamed on Kurdish krazed killers, the army and sources said Saturday. The soldier, a captain, was killed in a rocket and long-range gun attack late Friday on a military post in Beytussebap district in southeastern Sirnak province, the army said in a statement. Two other soldiers were maimed. The army said the attack was carried out by the "Separatist Terror Organisation", its customary phrase for the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) to which it never refers by name. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene... suspected members of the PKK threw two bombs outside the regional headquarters of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the predominantly Kurdish southeastern city of Diyarbakir. The attack severely damaged a police water cannon truck parked outside, injuring a policeman who was inside, the official Anatolia news agency reported. The PKK has been staging daily attacks against the Turkish armed forces as the military keeps up air raids and military operations against its strongholds in southeast Turkey as well as northern Iraq. Over 50 members of the Turkish security forces have been killed in attacks blamed on the PKK but the government has vowed to maintain its campaign against the group. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea, one that didn't involve kerosene... 10 customs officials and a driver were reported missing in the Van region of eastern Turkey close to the border with Iran, Anatolia reported, saying it was possible they had been kidnapped by the PKK. The PKK regularly carries out kidnappings in Turkey's southeast which normally end with the detainees' release. |

| #1 Those Kurdish Krazed Killers seem to be little different from Erdogan's thugs that have been waging war against the Kurds. The major difference seems to be which side supports ISIS. |
