Turkey
(Kurdistan), Nov 12, The small Kurdistan province,
Semdinli was shaked on the 9th of November, by a
bomb eruption in a bookstore. One person died and 11
wounded. The people gathered immediately for
protesting this bombing which was apparently
state-sourced.
The people caught the bombers while they were trying
to escape in a car. The three persons in the car
were members of the army, two sub officials and one
specialist sergeant.
The growing crowd beated the military men, and gave
them to the police. The car of the bombers was also
subject to the great anger of the popular crowd and
was damaged. |

The second attack occurred during the province
prosecutor was making official research in the
field. Counter-guerilla members opened fire over the
crowd and the prosecutor. Another person died and
five more were wounded.
In the military men’s car, was found very important
proof: Three AK-47 rifles, hand grenades, an
official “Gendarme Intelligence Service” ID
belonging to “Ali Kaya” and other official gendarme
cards belonging to that name. Also a military map of
Semdinli in which some targets were marked was
found. In this map, also the bombed bookstore was
marked. Also a detailed drawing of the bombed
bookstore was in the car. A “death list” was found
in the car, which consisted of 150 names which were
politically active in the Kurdish democratic
movement, together with a list of “agents of the
state”. “Ali Kaya” also has a “misson card” signed
by a colonel of the Semdinli barracks.
The fascist military was caught red-handed in
Semdinli by the brave people of this Kurdish
province. More bombings were done in the province
against civilian targets which aimed to confuse the
people about the guerilla and create conflicts
within the people and the Kurdish guerilla.
The Semdinli people is on the streets for the last
two days. All the shops of the town is shut-down for
protest. The schools are also closed because the
students are not going. A police check-point in
Semdinli was burned and destroyed by the people.
Clashes with the police continued for two days. Also
in the town center, Hakkari, which Semdinli belongs
to, a big demonstration happened. The people
destroyed state buildings and threw stones to the
police, while the police opened fire to the mass.
In the funeral of the two martyrs of the people,
which were killed in the bombing and shooting of the
death squads, an angry crowd of 5 thousand people
took place. Slogans against oppression and
counterguerilla were shouted, along with slogans in
favor of PKK and Abdullah Ocalan. The coffins were
covered by the Kurdish national flag: Yellow, red
and green.
The bourgeois politics front is in chaos after the
popular uprise. It is a so evident case that, no one
can deny the military presence in the attack against
the civilian people. The AKP government claims that
the ones responsible for this event "will pay its
price". Of course, except the headquarters of the
army, who still deny this presence and claim
inofficially that this was a inner-clearance of the
PKK and the caught soldiers were there to
investigate the bombing.
Only two of the arrested four were imprisoned. The
people finds this quite insufficient and thinks that
the state is trying to cover the role of the state
in this event and to protect the real criminals.
