A SPATE of attack has raised fears that Turkey’s long war with separatist Kurds in the country’s south-east may heat up again. Since the capture of a Kurdish leader, Abdullah Ocalan, who has been locked up in a Turkish jail since 1999, trouble has abated. But on Monday June 4th eight Turkish troops were killed in Tunceli province, in Turkey. And not long before that, 12 people were killed, including some soldiers, by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) it is thought. The organisation is also blamed for a suicide bombing shortly before in Ankara. The Turkish army has shelled Kurdish areas in response."
