PKK terror hit Diyarbakir yesterday evening when a vehicle loaded with explosives was detonated by remote control just as a bus carrying military members from the 16th Armored Brigade was passing by on the city’s Mimar Sinan Boulevard.
The powerful explosion which rocked the entire area killed 5 people and injured 67, including 30 soldiers. The explosion yesterday took place in front of a “dershane,” or study center which was filled with students. Many students were injured by broken glass, and two female students were killed. Diyarbakir Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu said that while the target of the PKK detonation had certainly been the military transport, which had civilian license plates, the location had caused even greater destruction due to the crowded “dershane.”
