A car bomb attack killed at least seven Turkish police officers and wounded 27 other people in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir on Thursday (March 31). <br /> <br />President Tayyip President Erdogan said the latest violence to hit the biggest city in the largely Kurdish region showed the "ugly face" of militants. <br /> <br />The attack targeted a minibus carrying members of the police special forces, a security source said, adding that civilians were also among the wounded. <br /> <br />The explosion hit the vehicle as it passed near a bus station in Diyarbakir, broadcaster Haberturk TV said. Ambulances rushed to the scene, it said. <br /> <br />The southeast has been scorched by waves of violence since a ceasefire between the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the government collapsed last July. <br /> <br />There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
