Roadside Bomb in Southeast Turkey Wounds 7 Soldiers


Turkey's state news agency says seven soldiers have been wounded by a roadside bomb planted by Kurdish rebels in the southeast. Since then, Turkey has witnessed a resurgence of violence, including large-scale military campaigns to flush out Kurdish rebels from urban areas. A truce between the state and the insurgent movement, which has fought in southeast Turkey for decades, collapsed last July. The explosive device went off as a military vehicle went by in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir. The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, however, stages frequent attacks against Turkish policemen and troops.
