TUNCELI, Turkey, May 22 (Reuters) - Kurdistan Workers' Party guerrillas kidnapped two men in the eastern Turkish province of Bingol on Sunday, the Army General Staff said on its Web site.

The seized men were forest workers cutting trees legally when they were taken. The PKK, which uses eastern Turkey's rugged terrain to hide from security forces, had said last year that anyone cutting down forests would be punished."
