Nicolas Birch 9/14/06

Seven children were among those who died when an explosion ripped through a bus stop in the mainly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir on the night of September 12. The blast occurred hours after Turkey’s largest civilian Kurdish grouping made an unprecedented call for the separatist Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, to lay down its weapons immediately."
