Fingers pointed in Kurds’ killings

— Turkey’s prime minister suggested Friday that a feud among Kurdish rebels was behind the shooting deaths of three Kurdish activists in Paris, and the rebels said it was an attempt to undermine peace talks that their jailed leader is holding with Turkey.

The three women, including reportedly a founding member of the autonomyseeking Kurdish rebel group Kurdistan Workers’ Party, also known as PKK, were found inside a Kurdish center in the French capital on Thursday.

Kurds have accused Turkey of the slayings, while Turkish officials have suggested the killings may be part of an internal feud or an attempt to derail the talks.
