Four terrorists from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were killed in the southeastern province of Bingöl on Friday after clashes erupted between terrorists and security forces.
The clashes occurred in a rural area near the Kiğı and Adaklı districts. A group of soldiers were patrolling the area when they encountered a group of PKK terrorists in the early morning hours. The ensuing clashes resulted in the deaths of four terrorists. However, some sources reported that nine terrorists had been killed. Two village guards were wounded in the clashes, according to reports. The Turkish military immediately launched a large-scale operation assisted by helicopters and warplanes in the area after the clashes. It was still under way when Todays Zaman went to print.
The clashes came after the PKK announced earlier this month that it was ending a unilateral cease-fire, which it referred to as a non-action decision. The cease-fire was declared on Aug. 13 of last year. Analysts believe the PKK will launch violent attacks across Turkey to provoke voters ahead of the June 12 parliamentary elections.
