土耳其東南部14人死於衝突
Eight Turkish soldiers and six members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were killed Friday in clashes in the largely Kurdish region of southeast Turkey, a Turkish military statement said.
Six soldiers were killed and eight were wounded when clashes broke out with rebels in Hakkari province on Friday. Two additional soldiers died when a military helicopter sent to the area later crashed due to a technical fault.
Meanwhile, four suspected bomb makers were killed near Diyarbakir late Thursday, Turkish interior ministry officials said.
Security officials said the blast occurred when PKK militants were loading the explosives onto a truck.
The late-night explosion occurred hours after at least seven people were injured in a car-bomb attack near a military facility in a suburb of the capital, Istanbul.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the car-bomb attack.土耳其軍方發表聲明說， 8名土耳其軍人和6名被取締的庫爾德工人黨成員星期五在土耳其東南部發生的衝突中死亡。該地區的大多數居民是庫爾德人。
卡哈利省星期五發生衝突，6名土耳其軍人被打死，8人受傷。奉派前往該地區的一架軍用直升機因發生技術故障而墜毀，又有兩名軍人死亡。
與此同時，土耳其內政部官員說，4名被懷疑製造炸彈的人星期四夜間在迪亞巴克爾附近被炸死。
安全官員說，爆炸是在庫爾德工人黨激進分子把炸藥裝上一輛卡車時發生的。
在此數小時前，土耳其首都伊斯坦布爾郊區的一處軍事設施附近發生汽車炸彈爆炸，造成至少7人受傷。
目前還沒有人宣稱對這起汽車爆炸襲擊事件負責。
