DIYARBAKIR, Turkey, May 30 (Reuters) - A bomb exploded next to an oil pipeline in southeast Turkey on Monday, causing some damage and spilling around 100 barrels of oil, industry officials said.


The blast occurred in the province of Batman where the state TPAO oil company has facilities and caused a fire which firemen rapidly extinguished.

It was not clear who planted the device and security forces have launched an investigation.

The separatist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) has carried out similar attacks in the past as part of its violent campaign to create a homeland in southeast Turkey.

More than 30,000 people, mainly Kurds, have been killed since 1984 when the PKK launched its armed operations.

Fighting has increased since last year, when the rebels called off the unilateral five-year ceasefire they declared after the capture of their leader, Abdullah Ocalan, in 1999.

Seems there is tension in Turkey.I don't know how good the blast of the oilpipeline would be for the Kurds though , they would directly oppose to the Americans.But well done anyway.

From the "if you only had a month to live" thread:

If it is meant to die in a month , at least give a purpose and meaning to your death.Take a nuclear warhead with you into Ankara and blow it.Although you should better avoid the nukes.The radioactive elements might affect Armenia ,plusit is unrealistic.So just blow up some Turkish bases of strategical importantce.Or blow the pipeline in Azerbaijan.Last ,if you are so emotional ,religious human beings and you dont want to kill any Turk by the fear of going to hell,you can just simply burn yourselfs to protest for the Armenian Genocide infront of a big Turkish Embassy. Don't forget to call all the media and give an insipirational speach before you light yourselfs .

Good, as long as Red Brigade is still alive... I'm all happy about the pipeline damage!
