PKK terrorist found dead in eastern Turkey

Turkish security forces have found the body of a PKK terrorist in a cave during a military operation in Turkey's eastern Tunceli province, a statement from the local governor's office said Thursday.

Gendarmerie forces also seized a large cache of ammunition as well as organizational documents and defused six handmade explosives in the operation.

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 death of some 40,000 people.
