DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. May 4, 2016, 10:35 AM (IDT)
At least one Turkish soldier was killed, three were critically wounded and seven others sustained moderate to serious injuries when a car bomb exploded at a checkpoint in southeastern Turkey in the predawn hours of Wednesday morning.
