Attacks threaten unusual Turkish outreach to Kurds (AP)

June 16th, 2010

FILE - In this file photo of Nov. 9, 2007 Turkish Kurd villagers in Turkey's pre-dominantly Kurdish southeast protest a surge in attacks by the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, in Calisan village in the province of Sirnak near Turkish-Iraqi border southeastern Turkey. A remarkable Turkish attempt to end the country's 26-year-old fighting against Kurdish rebels by granting cultural freedoms to a minority, whose existence once rejected and barred from speaking Kurdish in public appears to have deadlocked, as a dramatic escalation in rebel violence raises the prospect of a return to the grinding warfare that has killed about 40,000 people. (AP Photo/Ibrahim Usta)AP - Kurdish rebels have dramatically stepped up attacks in Turkey this month in an escalation that poses a dire threat to a remarkable attempt at ending one of the world’s longest guerrilla wars.
