DIYARBAKIR, Turkey: Turkish authorities on Saturday detained the suspected perpetrator of a car bomb attack in its main Kurdish-majority city that killed seven police, as a new bombing hit the troubled southeast.
The suspect, named as A.C., was detained in the Kocakoy district of Diyarbakir, where the seven police were killed and 27 others wounded by Thursday’s massive car bomb attack on a police bus, the Dogan news agency reported.
The attack was claimed on Friday by the military wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
