Car bomb attack in Turkey kills 5

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) – An official says Kurdish rebels have detonated a car bomb in southeast Turkey, killing five police officers traveling inside a police vehicle. Yavuz Selim Koser, the governor for Bingol, said four other police officers were seriously wounded in Monday’s attack in the mainly Kurdish province. He blamed the attack on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, which has been fighting Turkey for Kurdish autonomy since 1984. The renewed conflict has led to the death of nearly 600 security personnel and more than 5,000 Kurdish militants.
