DIYARBAKIR,
Kurdistan- Turkey, Nov 25 (AFP) - 17h48 - Suspected
Kurdish rebels attacked a police station in Turkey's
mainly Kurdish southeast on Friday, causing damage
but no casualties, a senior police official said.
The police headquarters in the town of Idil, in
Diyarbakir province, were hit by a rocket-propelled
grenade, the official told AFP, while witnesses
reported also having heard gunfire.
Unrest in the southeast markedly increased this year
after the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), an armed
separatist group blacklisted as a terrorist
organization by Turkey, the European Union and the
United States, called off a five-year unilateral
ceasefire in June 2004.
The Kurdish conflict has claimed some 37,000 lives
since the PKK took up arms for Kurdish self-rule in
the region in 1984.
