Man dies in PKK hidden bomb blast in Mardin

A man died after a trapped bomb exploded as he was entering his abandoned home in an under curfew neighborhood in the Nusaybin district of the southeastern province of Mardin on Sept. 15. 

Arriving at his home with four other people, Mehmet Sait Malak detonated the explosive, believed to have been planted by militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) under the ground floor. Malak was killed at the scene, the four people with him were wounded in the explosion. 

The injured were taken to a police station for questioning. Police have since reported that Malak fled the war in Syria and held a Turkish passport. 

A curfew was declared on March 14 in the restive Nusaybin, where Turkish security forces have been clashing with the PKK. The curfew was lifted on July 25 in 12 neighborhoods of the town.Photos from Turkey, coalition 'Euphrates Shield' op targeting ISIL in Syria's JarablusIstanbul welcomes third bridge over BosphorusLife in Jarablus after liberation from ISIL through the lens of Hürriyet reporter Selçuk ŞamiloğluHalfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childTurkish police raid Koza İpek's media HQ in Istanbul amid protestsTurkey celebrates Republic Day against backdrop of political turbulenceLocal authorities in Adıyaman stir outcry for sitting under tent as schoolkids get wet US destroyer completes exercise with Turkish NavyNew images of the construction of Istanbul's third bridgeTurkey marks the 77th...
