ISTANBUL, Oct 29
(AFP) - 10h31 - A Turkish army reservist and a
Kurdish rebel were killed late Friday in a rocket
attack by rebel forces against a military post in
the Kurdish majority region of southeast Turkey, the
Anatolia news agency reported Saturday.
Four soldiers were slightly wounded in the strike at
Erenkaya Koyu, a village in Siirt province, the
agency said, adding that a search operation had been
launched to track down the rebels of the Kurdistan
Workers Party (PKK), which has been blamed for the
attack.
Southeastern Turkey has been the scene of a bloody
conflict between PKK rebels and Turkish security
forces, which has claimed nearly 37,000 lives since
1984.
The PKK, which is considered a terrorist
organization by Ankara, the European Union and the
United States, has stepped up its attacks in the
region over the past few months after having
observed a unilateral ceasefire from 1999 to June
2004.
