- PKK Guerrillas raid Diyarbakir Special Forces HQ
- 14.December.1992
-
- Last night (13.December) at about 19:05, a large ARGK (Kurdistan
- People's Army for National Liberation) unit attacked the headquarters of
- the Special Forces (para-military police) in the town of Diyarbakir. They
- raided the headquarters with heavy machine guns. The attack lasted for 46
- minutes. Sources in the region put the number of police dead at 27.
- After the guerrilla unit had withdrawn, there were clashes in the
- suburbs which lasted for two hours. In these clashes, the Kurd-Ha news
- agency put the number of dead Turkish soldiers at 10. They also reported that
- police and army units made hundreds of random arrests.
- At about the same time, another ARGK unit ambushed a military convoy
- on the road from Hani to Diyarbakir, killing 11 soldiers. This battle lasted
- for 45 minutes.
