In Kurdistan wurden zwei türkische Offiziere gekidnappt und 9 andere verletzt
PKK forces kidnap two officers, wound nine others
The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) forces kidnapped two specialist sergeants in eastern Turkey on Saturday and wounded nine members of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) in a southeastern province on Sunday.
According to Zaman daily the kidnapping took place when a group of the PKK supporters blocked a road heading to the southeastern province of Diyarbakir on Saturday in protest of the construction of a gendarmerie outpost. With the blockade, the armed group, which took part in the protest along with civilians, caused a traffic backup as a long line of 90-100 vehicles formed.
While checking the IDs of passengers on a bus, the armed group noticed two unarmed sergeants who were heading to Diyarbakir. The armed group forcefully abducted the two officers, prompting the Turkish military to launch an operation in the area to secure their release.
In another incident, the Turkish military said in a statement on Saturday, a group of PKK members opened fire from the Iraqi side of the border on a military unit positioned in a mountainous area in rural parts of Semzinan, a district of the southeastern province of Hakkari.
Tensions ensued on Sunday in Diyarbakir’s Lice district when PKK-affiliated protesters again rallied against the construction of the gendarmerie outpost. Clashes broke out between protesters and security forces, leaving nine soldiers wounded when a stun grenade thrown by a protester exploded.
