Istanbul : An attack by Kurdish rebels in southeast Turkey has 0left 12 people dead, Turkish television reported.
The dead in the attack Saturday on a mini-bus in Besagac village in Sirnak province included workers and village guards, charged by the government with combating the illegal Kurdish Workers’ Party.
The attack occurred in a province bordering Iraq and Syria. Turkey and Iraq on Friday signed an anti-terrorism agreement in which Baghdad pledged to cooperate with Ankara in efforts to crack down on Kurdish rebels based in northern Iraq. But the pact fails to give Turkey permission to launch military operations across the border.
