Türkiye detains 37 PKK suspects, “neutralized” two others

Turkish security forces on Wednesday, October 4, detained at least 37 people over suspected links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and “neutralized” two others as part of anti-terror operations, a cabinet minister said.

The Turkish government has launched massive anti-terror operations nationwide and carried out two cross-border airstrikes against the PKK targets in northern Iraq after a suicidal attack in the capital Ankara on Sunday.

Two attackers, one identified as a member of the PKK, attempted a bomb attack in front of the Turkish Interior Ministry’s building, injuring two police officers.
