Turkey: 4 killed in Turkey's southeast

Suspected Kurdish rebels on Thursday killed one policeman and wounded another one in an attack in the country's southeast, authorities said. 

The militants opened fired on the policemen as they chatted with shop owners in Diyarbakir, the largest city in the Kurdish-dominated southeast, said city's governor, Mustafa Toprak. Two civilians were also wounded in the shooting. 

The attack came a day after Kurdish rebels killed one soldier and two pro-government village guards in an ambush in the eastern Van province, according to the governor's office in Van. Wednesday's attack came hours after about 2,000 Turkish troops launched an operation against Kurdish rebels in the mountainous Tunceli province, further west, and Turkish jets reportedly bombed rebel bases in northern Iraq.      

 The rebels, who are fighting for autonomy in Turkey, have escalated attacks in recent months, killing dozens of members of the security forces and at least seven civilians since July.
