Four killed in Turkey after Kurds clash with police
AT least four more people have died in violence in Turkey after clashes between Kurds and police.
Three were killed in Istanbul after a petrol bomb was thrown at a bus and a Kurdish man was shot dead by troops in the town of Kiziltepe.
In the attack in Istanbul's Bagcilar district late yesterday, the driver reversed his flaming vehicle on to a pavement after the bombing, running down a group of people, police said.
Police said they suspected Kurdish militants were behind the attack.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets in Istanbul as unrest spread following Turkey's worst riots in years.
Riots began on Tuesday after funerals for 14 suspected Kurdish militants who were killed last weekend.
Meanwhile, a militant Kurdish group, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, warned tourists to stay away, saying it would target the tourism sector.
