By Rauf Maltas

SANLIURFA, Turkey (AA) - A civilian on Tuesday succumbed to his injuries sustained in an attack by PKK terrorists last week in southeastern Turkey, a health official confirmed.

Mustafa Yoldas, a 34-year-old road construction worker, died at a private hospital in Birecik district of the Sanliurfa province, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey as well as the U.S. and the EU. In its over three-decade-long terror campaign against Turkey, more than 40,000 people have been killed.
