Kurdish rebels are threatening to extend their uprising in southeastern Turkey to other areas of the country, if the military continues its ongoing offensive against rebels in the region.

Meanwhile, Turkey said four soldiers were killed today, when a rebel-planted bomb destroyed their vehicle near the Iraqi border. "
