ISTANBUL, June 8 (KUNA) -- Turkish authorities found 82 kilograms of
explosives in the southeastern part of the country, saying Friday that members
of the Kurdish Workers Party had planted them there.
The Security Directorate said the explosives were hidden at a farm in
Diyarbakr, of Kurdish majority, adding that the bomb squad had neutralized the
explosives after first evacuating the area.
Turkey had come under a number of attacks, where in 2003 a blast in
Istanbul targeted two synagogues, the British Consulate and a British bank,
killing 58 people. (end)
