"Turkey seizes five in 'bomb plot'"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Officers said 1.5kg (3.3lb) of plastic explosives and 20kg of chemicals used in the making of bombs had been seized from the house of one of the suspects.

Kurdish rebels have stepped up their campaign of attacks on civilian and army targets in the past few months.

The separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party, known as the PKK, has been fighting the government since 1984 in a campaign to create a Kurdish homeland in the south-east.

Soldiers killed

Police said in a statement they had arrested the five men - one a suspected PKK militant and the other four accused of helping him - in Mersin, a southern town popular with local tourists.

They were detained while "in the process of preparing for attacks on government buildings as well as facilities of touristic and economic significance", the statement said."
