Kurdish separatist guerrillas have killed 15 villagers and abducted seven others in raids over the last four days in southeast Turkey, local Turkish officials reported. They also said that four guerrillas died in a clash with security forces in Siirt province, on the border with Iraq. In other incidents in the province, a 6-year-old child and an adult were killed and three people kidnaped from a village near Sirnak, while another group abducted four more people from a nearby area. Late last week, guerrillas killed 13 villagers, including six women and two children, in the province.
