Attributing this attack to the Kurds might be an error, but this report does illustrate the political volatility that exists in parts of Turkey. The Turkish Army said that a two-vehicle Army convoy was ambushed near the village of Karadona (Corum province). The official report said no organization claimed responsibility for the attack.

There are also reports of TIKKO activity in Tokat and Amasya .provinces.
