TURKEY — Area in Unrest: Children wait with their belongings as thousands of people flee from the historic Sur district of the mainly-Kurdish city of Diyarbakir on Wednesday after authorities, fighting Kurdish militants there, expanded a 24-hour curfew to include five more neighborhoods. The curfew in Sur, in place since December, was enlarged on Wednesday to enable the security forces to “restore public order” in neighborhoods where militants linked to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, had allegedly dug trenches, set up barricades and explosive devices. The country’s military said three security force members were killed in an attack in Sur on Wednesday while the Dogan news agency reported heavy fighting in the neighborhood.
