A TWO-YEAR-OLD was among those detained by Turkish security services today after three residents were killed in military attacks in the largely Kurdish south-east.
An indefinite military curfew was declared in the early hours in the Lice and Hazro districts of Diyarbakir, the unofficial Kurdish capital of Turkey.
Sources on the ground confirmed to the Star that the rural areas of Hazro were blockaded by hundreds of armoured military vehicles following air strikes at about 4am.
