8 dead, dozens wounded in blast at police HQ in Southeast Turkey

According to officials car bomb explosion rocked a police headquarters in the town of Cizre in Turkey on Friday, killing eight people and wounding dozens, in the latest in a spate of attacks in the country's turbulent south east. State-run Anadolu Agency blamed the attack on the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) which has been involved in almost daily clashes in the region since last July, when a ceasefire between it and the government collapsed. On Thursday Interior Minister Efkan Ala accused the group of attacking a convoy carrying the main opposition party leader, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.
