3 killed by PKK in Turkey's southeast

Three policemen were killed by Kurdish militants yesterday in two separate attacks in Turkey's southeast, security sources said, as weeks of violence showed no sign of abating. Since late July, Ankara has used air power and ground forces in a self-declared "anti-terror" operation to try to cripple the PKK in its strongholds in southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq. But the group has hit back, killing dozens of Turkish police and soldiers in almost daily attacks.
