At least eight people were killed, including two police, and 100 injured in a powerful explosion outside a police building Friday in the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım said.
The local governor's office said in a statement that the cause of the blast "seems to be a car bomb used by members of the separatist terrorist organisation", a reference to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The blast, which Yildirim also said was carried out by the PKK, targeted a police headquarters hours after top Kurdish politicians were detained in an unprecedented police crackdown, in a major escalation of a broader crackdown against leading Kurds.
