From Times Wire Reports
Two Kurdish rebels rammed an oil-filled truck into a Turkish police station in a suicide attack, the army said, marking an escalation of separatist violence.
After the explosion other members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, attacked the station in Tunceli province, and the army responded with an operation supported from the air. No details were immediately available on the death toll.
About 2,000 people marched in Istanbul protesting the violence after a call from the army for the public to show a mass response to PKK attacks.
