One PKK terrorist killed in SE Turkey

ANKARA

A female PKK terrorist was killed and a Turkish policeman was injured Wednesday following an armed attack on security forces in Turkey's southeastern province of Diyarbakir, police sources said.

Video footage from a security camera, released by police, appears to show a woman targeting Turkish security forces at a checkpoint in the Sur district of Diyarbakir.

A curfew had been declared on Wednesday in the Sur district as part of anti-terror operations.

In the video, the woman takes a gun out of her handbag and appears to shoots randomly as the police perform body searches.

She was killed after the police fired back at her. A police officer was also injured during the attack.

The PKK -- considered a terrorist organization also by the U.S., and the EU -- resumed its armed campaign in late July.

Since July, more than 180 members of the security forces have been martyred and over 1,700 PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq, including airstrikes.
