ISTANBUL, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Kurdish separatists have claimed responsibility for a fire at a warehouse of a leading electronics manufacturer in western Turkey that caused millions of dollars of damage but no casualties.
The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which launched an armed uprising for an ethnic homeland in 1984, has traditionally conducted guerrilla warfare in rural areas of the mainly Kurdish southeast and has not generally hit economic targets.
Europe-based Roj TV, a mouthpiece for the PKK, said late on Tuesday the militants had set fire to a Beko Elektronik warehouse in Beylikduzu, outside Istanbul, on Monday after five guerrillas were killed by Turkish security forces earlier this month."
