ANKARA, Turkey — Thousands of Kurdish protesters rampaged after funerals for Kurdish guerrillas killed by Turkish troops, hurling firebombs at armored police vehicles and smashing windows at a police station. Forty people were injured.
The fighting Tuesday was among the worst street battles in overwhelmingly Kurdish southeastern Turkey in years. Turkish authorities took the unusual step of calling in paramilitary police to help police restore order."
