Wednesday's attack in southeastern province of Diyarbakir was a "successful action" by the PKK terrorists, AFP quoted a statement posted on the terrorist organization's web site as saying.Â
The police bus came under fire just as parliament in Ankara extended by a year the government's mandate to order cross-border military action against PKK hideouts in neighboring northern Iraq.
The police have detained nine people in connection with the incident, among them three alleged PKKÂ terrorists believed to have taken part in the attack.
