Istanbul: A radical Kurdish militant group yesterday claimed a suicide attack that killed 14 Turkish soldiers and wounded dozens in the central city of Kayseri at the weekend, a news agency affiliated with the group reported.
A "revenge squad" from the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK) seen as a radical offshoot of the outlawed PKK targeted the off-duty conscripts and "successfully carried out the attack", the group said in a statement published by the pro-PKK Firat news agency.
