'PKK attack' kills two cops in tense Turkey

Two more Turkish police were killed Friday in an attack blamed on Kurdish militants as tensions in the country boiled over amid the military's cross-border bombing campaign against extremists in Syria and Iraq. Ankara has launced a two-pronged anti-terror offensive against Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in Syria and Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants at their bases in northern Iraq after a wave of deadly attacks in the country.
