Fethullah Gülen extends condolences over Kastamonu attack

Today's Zaman

Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen has extended his profound regret over the killing of a police officer in what he termed a “malicious ambush” and said he shares the sorrow with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

A group of outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members is believed to be behind the attack on police officers who escorted Erdoğan in Kastamonu early on Wednesday. The attack left one dead and two others injured.
