Turkish soldiers, civilian killed in terrorist attack
25 06 2010Members of an outlawed terrorist organization killed two Turkish soldiers and a civilian and wounded six other people, including three civilians, in an attack late Thursday on a military outpost in eastern Turkey, Turkish media reported.
The terrorists attacked a patrol and the outpost not far away in a rural area in the province of Elazığ, the Anatolia news agency and broadcaster NTV said.
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, has dramatically stepped up violence this month, threatening to spread its attacks outside of the country’s Southeast, its main area of operation.
PKK attacks have claimed the lives of 19 soldiers and two civilians since last weekend.
