Four suspected bomb makers were killed on Thursday night and 17 people wounded when an explosion ripped through a village in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast, Reuters reported.
The blast occurred at about 10:30 p.m. local time in the Sarikamis district, about 25 kilometers (15 miles) from the region's biggest city of Diyarbakir, as Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) members loaded explosives onto a small truck, according to the Interior Ministry.
