Terrorist killed in southern Turkey

They were trying to escape arrest and responded by throwing a grenade at the police in the Konyaalti district, said a source, who requested anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July 2015.

Since then, PKK terrorists have martyred nearly 800 members of security forces and claimed the lives of over 310 civilians, including women and children, while more than 10,000 PKK terrorists have been killed or apprehended in army operations.
