After ISIL claims Diyarbak?r attack, Turkey insists it was PKK

Turkish Minute- Following the ISIS in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claiming responsibility for a deadly car bomb attack on a police station on Friday, a second official statement from the Diyarbak?r Governors Office said it was the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) that perpetrated the attack, based on intercepted radio communication of the PKK terrorists.

Reuters reported late on Friday that ISIL was the perpetrator of the Diyarbak?r attack, which had claimed the lives of 11 people as of Saturday, according to an announcement from the groups Amaq news agency.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Y?ld?r?m had said earlier on Friday that Kurdish terrorists were responsible for the attack and that one suspected member of the outlawed PKK was also killed in the blast.

Meanwhile, two Peoples Democratic Party (HDP) deputies who were detained and released on Friday argued that the car bomb attack in Diyarbak?r aimed to kill HDP deputies held in custody at the targeted police station.
