Turkey PM vows to ‘wipe out PKK terrorists’

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Monday vows to “wipe out” Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants from their mountain strongholds after 16 soldiers were killed in a rebel attack Sunday.

“These terrorists must be wiped out from the mountains; whatever happens they must be wiped out. The mountains of this country must not be handed over to terrorists,” he says in televised comments in Ankara.
