ANKARA (AA) - At least three people, including two with suspected links to the PKK terror organization, were arrested Tuesday in the northwestern Turkish province of Edirne.

The National Defense Ministry said the three were arrested while trying to illegally flee to Greece though the Turkish border.

It was later discovered that two were PKK terror suspects, the ministry added.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU – has been responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
