18 Kurdish Militants Killed Trying to Flee into Syria

Local Editor

Eighteen Kurdish militants were killed in clashes with Turkish security forces overnight when they tried to flee into Syria from the Turkish border town of Nusaybin, security sources said Monday.

They said security forces were conducting a sweep through Nusaybin when clashes broke out as members of the militant Kurdistan Workers Party [PKK] tried to reach the nearby Syrian city of Qamishli.

Qamishli is largely under the control of the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, which Ankara sees as an affiliate of the outlawed PKK.
