16 PKK/KCK suspects arrested in southern Turkey

ADANA, Turkey

At least 16 PKK/KCK terror suspects were arrested in Turkey’s southern Adana province, police sources said on Friday.

The suspects were rounded up in Adana city center and Ceyhan district during anti-terror operations carried out by police forces, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people.
