Turkey Says 15 Women Rebels Killed -- BBC
Fifteen Kurdish militants, all of them women, have died in fighting with Turkish security forces, officials say.
The women were members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and died in fighting in the south-eastern Bitlis province, the interior ministry said.
Bitlis is a stronghold of the banned PKK, which wants autonomy in Turkey's largely Kurdish south-east.
Tensions have risen lately following street protests by thousands of Kurds to mark the Kurdish New Year, Novruz.
Correspondents say the death toll is believed to be the highest number of female PKK members killed at any one time.
