Diyarbakir, Turkey, April 1, SPA -- Fresh clashes between Kurdish protesters and police in southeast Turkey killed one protester and injured 10 others on Saturday, security sources said. The latest death brought the toll in this week's violence to eight dead. The protester was named as Ahmet Arac and it was not immediately clear how he died or how old he was. The clashes erupted near the Syrian border in the town of Kiziltepe, south of the mainly Kurdish region's largest city Diyarbakir, where most of this week's violence has been focused, according to a report of Reuters. Demonstrators set fire to a branch of a major bank and a building used by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). The riots erupted on Tuesday after funeral ceremonies for 14 members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) killed last weekend by security forces. --SPA 14 34 Local Time 11 34 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/350089
