Istanbul : Turkish authorities found 82 kilograms of explosives in the southeastern part of the country, saying Friday that members of the Kurdish Workers Party had planted them there.
The Security Directorate said the explosives were hidden at a farm in Diyarbakr, of Kurdish majority, adding that the bomb squad had neutralized the explosives after first evacuating the area.
Turkey had come under a number of attacks, where in 2003 a blast in Istanbul targeted two synagogues, the British Consulate and a British bank, killing 58 people.
