“A bomb exploded on a highway in Turkey as a van carrying police officers drove past on December 16, injuring nine of its passengers,” government officials said. “Eight police officers and a civilian were taken to hospitals as a precaution but were not in serious condition,” it said. Turkey blamed the attack on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, as well as Syrian Kurdish groups affiliated with it.
