TUNCELI, Turkey (AA) - A total of four PKK terror suspects were arrested in Turkey, according to a security source on Thursday.

The suspects were held in simultaneous operations carried out by police in the eastern Tunceli province, following arrest warrants issued by prosecutor, said the source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

The suspects, identified by their initials H.O., H.A., S.T. and F.C., were later released under judicial control.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women and children.
