Bombing is the latest in series of attacks as Ankara tries to recover from failed July 15 coup

A car bomb at a police head-quarters in Turkey's largely Kurdish southeast killed at least 11 and wounded dozens on Friday, ministers said. The attack came two days after Turkey launched an incursion against Islamic State and Kurdish fighters in Syria.

The state-run Anadolu news agency blamed the attack on the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, a militant group which has waged a three-decade insurgency for Kurdish autonomy and has been involved in almost daily clashes with security forces since a cease-fire collapsed more than a year ago.
