ISTANBUL, Turkey, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Turkish military sources said five Kurdish rebels were killed in fighting with Turkish forces in the southeastern part of the country.
The sources told Turkish daily Hurriyet that two women were among people killed during fighting in Kupeli near the Iraqi border, KUNA, the Kuwait News Agency, reported Wednesday.
Six rifles, explosives and cellular phones were found in the possession of the slain rebels, the sources said.
They also said 150-170 Kurdish Workers Party insurgents were killed Dec. 16 by warplanes in Kandil Mountains. Six people were injured in the attack.
An explosion late Tuesday in the European part of Istanbul killed at least seven people. Police suspect militants with the Kurdish Workers Party, known by its Kurdish language initials of PKK and listed by the U.S. State Department as a terror group, may have been responsible.
