A car bomb attack in the largest city in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast region killed eight people Friday, hours after authorities detained at least 12 pro-Kurdish legislators for questioning in terror-related probes. Yildirim also said one of the assailants was "caught dead" but did not provide details. The blast caused a large crater near the police building and damaged several buildings and businesses nearby. The PKK has waged a three-decade-long insurgency against the Turkish state and is considered a terror organization by Turkey and its allies. Hours earlier, police detained 11 legislators from the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party, or HDP, including the party's two co-chairs, Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag.
