Turkey's interior minister on Saturday described a gun attack that killed a police officer in the country's south as an "America-based" operation.
The female attackers, who Turkish authorities said were affiliated with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, later killed themselves by detonating suicide bombs. Soylu also said U.S. authorities had requested the serial numbers of the firearms used in the attack from the Turkish police, without specifying which U.S. agency made the request.
Tens of thousands of people have been killed in the 38-year on-off conflict between the PKK and the Turkish state. The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union. The U.S. does not recognize the YPG, which helped combat the Islamic State group in Syria, as a terrorist entity.
