"Turkish forensic authorities say no sign imprisoned Kurdish rebel chief being poisoned

ANKARA, Turkey: Turkish authorities said on Monday that tests on the imprisoned Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan showed no signs he was being poisoned, despite allegations by his lawyers.

The government had already denied the allegations but ordered the tests on samples of Ocalan's hair, urine and skin to calm his supporters, who have been staging violent protests and demanding a detailed medical examination."
