PKK suspected in killing of Turkish diplomat

The Kurdish armed group has denied any involvement.

Hours after the shootings, a spokesman for the military wing of the PKK, or Kurdistan Workers’ Party, said the group was not responsible.

Witnesses to the shooting described a confident, prepared team that entered the Erbil restaurant to kill Turkish diplomat Osman Kose.
